Hi Shenghui,

Thanks for posting the slides and all the work that went into this.
Some of the code snippets are hard to read from slides though.

I have a couple of comments/questions:

i) Open questions:
--- The Topo map is used for mid-rapidity tracking and is not relevant 
for FST,sTGC and FCS.
    There maybe a need for something similar for the forward tracking. 
Daniel?
    ome of the other Ist related stuff may be for mi-d-rapidity 
tracking.
ii) slide 7
    How are this calculations and tables related to what is implemented 
for the DAQ code? The DAQ code needs this info right away
and this cannot be redone later (pedestal, CMN etc) except for a subset 
of events. This was done for IST in the late stages, but is planed to be
done online for FST. I think this needs some discussion.
iii) It would be good to have a writeup on definitions of the coordinate 
transformations that are needed. I know its being implemented in
the geometry descriptions, but it has to be used in the HitMakers and 
should be well understood. You say the calibrationMakecreated the CMN 
data, but thats too late. as it's applied in the online DAQ. How is this 
coordinated?
iv) I think som more thought should go into marking bad channels , apv 
chips as this is already need for online. We shoud not have two diffrent 
sources for this.
) StFstHit
-- looks ok if one chekcs what's already in StHit; It would be usefull 
in the comments to define units, and precise definitions.E.g. the is
   a size in Z directions (units ..) . I guess this comes from 
segmentation in 4 radial segments of the sensors not Z which is nominal 
along the beam. How is charge uncertainty evaluated. I guess one can 
read the code, but general brief descriptions will be good.

slide 11)
  - why is the collection split over sensors. I would guess you need to 
access it on a per wedge(or mybe even ring)  when matching hits, but 
this
    of course depends how genfit wants the hits presented.The data 
structure layout should math what is needed in tracking, and it may be 
different
  for the forward tracking than for mid-rapidity with HFT.
