Now the Virtual Observations lecture series has been completed we would like to collect your views, considerations, ideas and the information that you gathered from the lectures. For this reason we have listed two sets of questions below. Please give complete but condense answers to the questions. Regarding set I: please give answers to these questions for each of the following lectures:

* Sebastien Derriere: Aladin & VO Services
+ Mark Allen: VO tools and services and science goals
* Reynier Peletier: Scientific use of Astronomical Databases, SIMBAD, VISIR
* Edwin Valentijn: Astro-WISE - virtual observatory
* Nic Walton: AstroGrid
* Marco de Vos: e-LOFAR 

SET I:

1. What are the key points of the lecture?
2. What do you consider the best elements and strongest points of the discussed projects?
3. What do you consider its drawbacks, disadvantages, weaknesses?
4. What is the most important thing that you learned from the lecture?
5. What do you think this project should achieve.
6. What would be your remaining question to this lecturer?



The second set are general questions which should be answered once for the lecture series as a whole.
SET II:

1. What do you consider the most accurate definition of Virtual Observatory?
2. Which effort/project would you like to see included in the VO, but did you not see discussed in the lecture series?
3. What is the greatest challenge for VO?
4. What is your utopia view on VO: what would you consider the perfect Virtual Observatory?


The answers from all students will be bundled together with the lecture notes to form an informal evaluation report for both the lecture series and the status of VO from the point of view of the generation of astronomers that would like to depend on it for their science. 

Please also deliver a picture with the result of the AstroWise datareduction of the La Palma December data for your favorite object.
