sPHENIX tracking discussion

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Hello,

It's by no means "done," even for today, but I just wanted to thank 
everyone who contributed to the draft of the pCDR we have today.  I just 
put a snapshot of the document here:

> https://www.phenix.bnl.gov/WWW/p/draft/haggerty/sphenix/pcdr/pcdr00.pdf

It's good to try and put down on paper what we want to build, and 
collecting the text, figures, and simulations several weeks before it is 
"due" has proven pretty useful.  Please continue to work and simulate 
and write as we try and turn this draft into a true proposal.

We'll continue working on it tonight, you can see the current state in 
Overleaf.

Thanks to all!
