Since the construction of the EPD, there have been problems here and there. Usually, we resolve them real time, then move on with our lives actually thinking we'll remember what we did. This page will hopefully solve those "What did we decide about what to do with those QA plot holes" and "Wasn't there a mapping change or something?" moments. This shouldn't be grounds for discussion (reserved for star-epd-l@lists.bnl.gov), but instead for descriptions of problems encountered, as well as the solutions and rationale behind them. If you see something that should be here, please put it here and add a reminder to the EPD Google Calendar. This will make all our lives so much easier!
