32. 32 02/11/2006LSA Developments – CO TC – Grzegorz Kruk Issues Some work can and will be passed to international collaborators, but Need to have local first-line support Medium term maintenance of these applications must be defined Technical guidance & support for non AP developers (local & external) is essential so that their products can be maintained afterwards It requires considerable amount of time and the number of temporary resource will grow The supervision effort is not compatible with the workload of the technical people in the LSA core team

33. 33 02/11/2006LSA Developments – CO TC – Grzegorz Kruk Conclusions A lot of work has been done Architecture is stable Validated in SPS, LEIR, transfer lines, HWC Still lots of work to be done The work can be staged over the next 2 years The available human resources are mainly temporary or part time The technical guidance issue should be somehow addressed
