Basic tools to do things with VOEvents. (e.g. pick out certain events, then send email alerts or new VOEvents, etc.)

Also encodes the key logic-flow behind the 4PiSky VOEvent hub, see http://4pisky.org/voevents/ for background.

This codebase is not intended for general release, it is very much tailored to our specific needs. However, it may serve as a reference for others.

For an example in the literature fourpisky being applied, see Staley et al (2012).

• VOEvent filtering and custom actions based on per-observatory follow-up criteria.
• Custom email notifications with site-reports for designated observatories (including calculated rise / set / transit times, etc).
• VOEvent creation to a standard template.
• Reasonably complete test suite with 'safety switches' to avoid false triggers during testing.

There are none - this is not intended for general consumption and documentation requires time and effort to maintain. However, feel free to contact me with any questions.
