[Frost] Two cents worth

Somewhat obvious stuff:
* Running FROST with a deuteron target for three weeks without having to 
go through the PAC is a unique opportunity.
* There is only enough time to run at one coherent edge energy.
* We have to figure out the best possible physics motivation to determine 
the edge energy to run at.
* At the lower energies we are almost guaranteed of getting a usable 
signal for gamma p -> pi- p.

An issue we need to address: Who is going to analyze the data? There is a 
real possibility that the person who does pi- p will be the only one to 
get any usable physics. Is that enough motivation for the effort of all 
involved?
