Goals

This page is a place to organize and prioritize development activities into a roadmap based on input of Slicer community and the needs of funded projects (NA-MIC, NAC, NCIGT, SlicerRT, etc...)

The list of issues targeted for each release are reported on mantis: http://na-mic.org/Mantis/roadmap_page.php

The topics listed below includes Slicer application and dependent ToolKit. For the specific strategy and feature lists covering modules and extensions, visit their respective roadmaps and other documentation.

Priorities

As of February, 2013

  • ITKv4 integration
  • Ability to install python package using pip
  • Improve extension catalog frontend
  • Faster Slicer start time
  • Support of python command line module
  • Walk-thru documentation that clearly shows new developers step-by-step instructions to create and publish extensions.
