We present a status update on the CMU group PWA efforts in the strangeness (K+Λ/K+Σ0) sector. The bulk of the currently available data comes from recently published CLAS g11a results [1, 2], with extensive polarization data expected soon from the CLAS g8 and g9 set of experiments. We give a brief description of issues pertaining to different sign conventions for the polarization observables in the literature [3], and normalization discrepancies between the CLAS-g11a results and older high energy data from SLAC/CEA/DESY that used an untagged photon beam.
