Looking at the notes I took of both the searching and monitoring<br>
discussions, the "1000 pulsar census with 8h per source" was mentioned<br>
as part of the monitoring program. To me that seems the logical<br>
location to add this; it is a bit different to the monitoring done for<br>
timing, but it is a better match than searching.<br>
<br>
