Results expected when?

My assumption would be that we won't see any results before the end of the first quarter of 2017 at least. Analysis will take time with this much data, then you have to write an article, then you need to get the article through a peer review. I'm sure they are working as hard as they can to make the process as quick as possible.

It seems like a long time, but hopefully there will be more treats for us before then. Lipkin and Hornig have something tasty due out soon. I'm sure there are others who have things in the works too.

Yes , I think they were having to get an old student to actually write a program to compute the data. May have that wrong but I know the sheer numbers of points was the largest data set Ron had collected - ever

Preprint servers have been very popular lately, hopefully OMF go down this path.
