Thanks Karen for your reply.

Yes, my goal is to contribute to the AAVSO to the CCD photometric measurements and, for sure, I am strongly interested to contribute to the exoplanet databases.  I have just discovered AIJ in a university course and found it very powerful. However, I am not familiar with all aspects but I continue to learn AIJ.

Implementing a subset for the AAVSO data format should be very useful.  Many friends of mine actually currently use AIP4WIN which as an option to format the result into a AAVSO file format including AAVSO observer code etc.  But some of the new potential contributors are not able to obtain AIP4WIN which is no longer available. So AIJ is the perfect solution.

AAVSO file format is described here: https://www.aavso.org/aavso-extended-file-format 

thanks
