To discuss

Conclusion

  • Talked with Sankhesh about #2535
  • Reviewed list of issue associated with 4.2.1
    • Alex: Before the weekend, will look at [1], #2374
    • Jim: Work on #2732. Sync with Nicole if no time to address this before the weekend.
    • Julien: When back from travelling - Sync with Alex regarding issue [2], #2374. Address issue [http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2725 #2725
    • Nicole: When back from travelling: issue #1690
    • Ron:
      • Provide feedback regarding issue #2485
      • Resolve issue #2716 if it applies and create an issue to capture UI improvement.
    • Jc:
      • Talked about issues #2720, #2708 and #2533: We are in the process of getting certificate to sign windows installer and mac package.
      • Discuss with Marianna about issue #1259 and #2593
  • After patch release (4.2.1) occurring at the end of the month, the plan is to remove ITKv3 from the trunk and only have ITKv4 as a dependency.
    • What does the community think ?
  • Discussed with David about the possible integration of python module into Slicer core. (For example postgres. See here)
    • The idea is that additional module would be either "pip" installed or installed as Slicer extension

Additional material

Lookup table discussion

Hi Folks, 

My understanding is that we should consolidate the documentation to minimize confusion while presenting the information to the user.

Currently there are the following pages:

1) http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.1/SlicerApplication/LookupTables
2) http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.1/SlicerApplication/LookupTables/TractographyColors
3) http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/4.1/SlicerApplication/LUTs/TractographyColors

where 3) redirect into 2)


=====
Firstly, we should chose between the following two conventions:

  http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/X.Y/SlicerApplication/LookupTables

or 

   http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/X.Y/SlicerApplication/LUTs


=====
Secondly, if a module exposes new lookup tables, these ones should probably be documented as subpage(s) of the module. 

For example:

http://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/X.Y/Modules/TractographyDisplay/LookupTables/Tractography

With this convention a module could document additional lookup tables as sub pages of "Documentation/X.Y/Modules/TractographyDisplay/LookupTables"

======
Thirdly, all lookup tables should be categorized in a LookupTables category allowing to list them.


=====
Fourthly, wiki page code allowing to describe a lookup table should probably be generated based on the description available in the code. We could also think about a mechanism to generate it at runtime and export it in the right format using python.

=====
Last, let me know if you would like to discuss the details over the phone. I would be happy to provide guidance and review code or wiki pages.

Thanks
Jc
