For the September 1998 proposal submission, we are adding an important new feature to the proposal information --- a CHANGES link from the proposal Web page and an additional CHANGES FTP file.
We freeze all files associated with the proposal process (both FTP- and Web-based) at least one month before the proposal deadline. What do we do if there is a change? How do we notify the community, for example, if there is an instrument configuration change? The new CHANGES Web link will allow users to check for any important new information related to detector, telescope, or instrument availability after the files are frozen. The same information will be available through a CHANGES file that will be available in the FTP directory noaoprop on ftp.noao.edu. Check this file for last minute changes before filling out your proposal form.
