Goals
The purpose of this meeting is to discuss development strategies to migrate Slicer to a new GUI layer. For some background see here.
Important questions to consider at this meeting are:
- What functionality does the application need to have in order to accomplish the needs of our DBP and clinical collaborations over the next several years?
- What look and feel should the application have?
- What capabilities will help us build the community of developers and users
- Standard tools - well supported with ample documentation, support, etc
- Flexibility to run in many environments
- Ease of use and productivity for developers
- Can we get a realistic estimate of the workload required and what skills are required to do the work?
- How much work have comparable project required (by people with what skills and experience?)
- What resources do we have to devote to this project compared with other demands?
- Are we comfortable that we have considered all the viable alternatives?
- What are the trends in GUI interface development for applications like ours
- What are the risks/benefits/complexity trade offs of various approaches
