Items for followup from previous meeting

1. Testing of new cal modules to measure light output and determine the range of photoelectrons expected (George to propose test plan)
2. Input/Decisions needed to finalize Bcal readout requirements (See also GlueX-doc-1373).
   • Specify the normalization and dynamic range for the number of photons/GeV in showers (Andrei to summarize MC results)
     • charged particles should also be included into the evaluation
   • Decide on specific grouping for SiPM sums
   • Possibility of using air gap for SiPM coupling to light guide (Elton to write up results)
   • Finalize shapes of "Winston guides"
