Deep Drilling Field / Special Survey Re-organization

[drphilmarshall]

• Comment out DDF chapter @drphilmarshall
• Put discussion of the existing DDFs into each science section - how useful are they for your science? Needs diagnostic metrics by science teams. This seems to have happened naturally!
• Commissioning discussion in each section? No. Few sentences in introduction @michaelstrauss

Optional extras:

• Extend Special Surveys chapter to cover projects possible with Deep Drilling Fields @knutago
• Add text on boundaries of special surveys program? Total time, others? Conservatism. Reminders from SRD. @knutago @ivezic
• Notes (warnings?) about the interaction between special surveys and main survey - any given OpSim run will contain this. @knutago

@nielbrandt thanks for the feedback! Would you like to have a go at summarizing the outstanding DDF suggestions (ie, those that have not been implemented in the tier 1 / chapter 2 OpSim runs) in a \section of this "Special Surveys" Chapter? @michaelstrauss has offered to help too. Thanks!

Ooh, this issue got well and truly forgotten. The DDFs are chronically under-represented in the current white paper draft as a result. @michaelstrauss @nielbrandt @knutago can any of you work on this over the next week? You'll want to remind yourself of the original issue I expect!

Unfortunately, I am fully saturated this week with travels to
Canada and Spain. My apologies.

@knutago - in the last part of my audit ( #304 ) I cleaned up the special surveys section so it is at least presentable. In its current state it makes no mention of the Deep Drilling Fields. If you have a few mins, maybe give the PDF a quick browse and give us your opinion on whether the white paper needs to discuss the deep drilling fields in any other context than the science sections and chapter 2 - try searching for "drilling," I think you get a consistent set of references.

Relevant, but maybe not something that has any need to go into version 1 of
the paper:

Thanks Lynne! Added a footnote with this link.

[knutago]

Sorry for lack of response, have been swamped! I will look at this tomorrow

Revisiting this: the DDFs are explained in Chapter 2, and are available in the OpSim outputs for people to quantify. I think we should leave them out of the special surveys chapter, and use that space to focus on new ideas for special surveys - there does not seem to be high demand for investigation of the white paper ideas. Closing this out: we can always re-issue ourselves with providing more DDF content if we feel that the white papers are under-represented.
