Hi Melissa and Nina, thank you for the great presentation on the POI Broker, the filtering interface looks really useful for initial alert exploration. I may have missed it, but could you share when the POI Broker is expected to start processing Rubin alerts?

On slide 14 of Nina’s deck, a ~1 month timescale is quoted for making all the updates and testing necessary to start getting LSST alerts from ANTARES, in addition to ZTF alerts.
