WGA2: Census of Supporting Surveys
The motivation of this WG is to provide the Gaia community with a dynamic online reference on the following 3 issues first raised at BreakoutASurveyScienceUnderstandingTheMilkyWay at the GreatKickoffMeeting:
- What is available when?
- Questions of optical / IR / other wavelengths / all sky data
- Merging of data

What is available when?
The census of supporting surveys is proposed to be presented below in 8 tables, split by supporting survey type (spectroscopy or astrometry/photometry) and status (completed, ongoing, funded proposal or unfunded proposal). These tables are intended to be dynamic and to evolve with time. Please feel free for anyone to correct mistakes or fill in information, which the WG will moderate.
