The Instrument Specific Algorithm Problem

Description (last modified by Nick Draper) (diff)

Users, particularly Pascal, are continually (and rightly) complaining that algorithms that should work on their data do not. This is starting to damage the project reputation.

Developers (probably at the SNS, but not necessarily, I'm not pointing fingers here) are continually writing algorithms that cannot cope with 1:many mapping of spectra to detector like we have at ISIS.

We need a way to catch this problem, and enforce that algorithms cannot be written/submitted that break when used on instruments outside of the facility.
