### Title

Development, Coordination, and Community Engagement involving specreduce and other spectroscopy-related tools by Timothy Pickering

### Project Team
Timothy Pickering

### Project Description
This is to continue specreduce development and outreach that was carried out in previous cycles.

### Project / Work
Some specific areas that we expect to tackle during the coming cycle include:

* Generic manual wavelength calibration classes (i.e. analogs to "identify" from iraf, should use previous specreduce tools for this where possible)
* Automatic wavelength calibration using existing templates (i.e. "reidentify", or "full template" from pypeit)
* Improved WCS tools and expanded examples of their use within spectroscopic contexts
* Support for / workflows with multi-object spectrographs
* Support for fiber-based spectrographs, both single and multi-object as well as fiber-based IFUs

Will these result in PRs to specutils, specreduce, both, or none?

specreduce definitely, specutils possibly if it would make the most sense in specific cases. gwcs is another possibility if more attention is given to its spectroscopy-related functionality.

* Continued/expanded outreach to observatories and software projects (e.g. PypeIt) to improve integration and workflows
* Expand outreach to and collaboration with EPRV spectroscopy community
