Hmm, not sure this got through before:

Excellent. In fact, I'd already made up my mind and made the changes,
but it's nice to have retrospective support ;P The current unvalidated
analyses and owners are:

     CDF_1996_S3108457.cc - Frank
     CDF_1996_S3349578.cc - Frank
     CDF_1996_S3418421.cc - Frank
     CDF_2000_S4266730.cc - Frank
     CDF_2001_S4517016.cc - Frank
     CDF_2001_S4563131.cc - Frank
     CDF_1994_S2952106.cc - Lars
     CDF_2006_S6653332.cc - Lars
     CDF_2007_S7057202.cc - James
     CDF_2008_S7541902.cc - Emily
     CDF_2008_S7782535.cc - Emily
     CDF_2008_S8095620.cc - Emily
     D0_1996_S3214044.cc - Frank
     D0_1996_S3324664.cc - Frank
     DELPHI_2003_WUD_03_11.cc - Hendrik (is this a useful example
analysis rather than for data comparison? Move to RivetMCAnalyses if so.)
     E735_1998_S3905616.cc - Holger, Andy
     H1_1995_S3167097.cc - Leif
     MC_LHC_DIJET.cc - Andy
     MC_LHC_PHOTONJETUE.cc - Andy
     MC_LHC_TTBAR.cc - Andy
     SFM_1984_S1178091.cc - Holger, Andy
     STAR_2008_S7993412.cc - Hendrik
     UA1_1990_S2044935.cc - Holger, Andy
     UA5_1988_S1867512.cc - Holger
     ZEUS_2001_S4815815.cc - Jon

Please attack this list and get as many as possible into production!

CDF seems to be particularly depleted, even allowing for Frank's
unfinished ones: Emily, James, Lars please have a look at your analyses.

No problem: I'd much rather report that there are 65 well-behaved
analyses in Rivet than 80 of variable reliability!
