| |
| − | * counting number of downloads of Slicer binaries
| |
| − | * record user information as they agree to abide by the Slicer license agreement
| |
| − | * integrated download page that will provide links to binary Slicer packages, for nightly builds, developer snapshots, and official releases
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Counting Downloads ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | We need the ability to report number of unique Slicer binaries downloaded per month and per grant year, per release version, as well as aggregate numbers.
| |
| − | Needed for grant reporting. The old method involved examining the flat files written as output from the Slicer license agreement web form and counting numbers of discrete entries by hand.

| − | From Ron 12 Sept 2007:
| |
| − | Don't over report! (missing 1% is okay)
| |
| − | No duplicate downloads.
| |
| − | Disclose the method by which we are counting (report to NIH).
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Update''': I have modified the download scripts to start counting downloads. The results are stored in a MySQL database on na-mic1. Here is how I'm going to proceed from this point: | |
| − | #I'm will create a new page that displays how many times Slicer3 has been downloaded within a given period of time.
| |
| − | #I will improve the appearance of the downloads section per Ron's request
| |
| − | #Work on generating a nightly package of Slicer3 using CPack

| − | == License Agreement ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | We need to record some basic information from users so we have a record of their agreeing to the Slicer license agreement. Needed for grant reporting in conjunction with download counting.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Current page: [http://www.slicer.org/cgi-bin/License/SlicerLicenseForm.pl]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The original license form was written as an HTML form that submitted data to a perl script that would verify the form entries and then write the user information to a series of flat files, one per month. | |
| − | | |
| − | The move to use Wiki2Web for the Slicer web pages complicates the issue, as the form has to be translated into a MediaWiki page that will translate to the final web page and still work. From Nicole 3 Aug 2007:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Marianna and I were working on the Slicer License form this afternoon, trying to get it working within the wiki to web framework, and
| |
| − | we've hit a major roadblock.
| |
| − | Mediawiki isn't rendering the html form tag, it's printing it out as text.
| |
| − | From looking at
| |
| − | http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox
| |
| − | it seems like we could install an extension to get certain pre-defined input boxes, but
| |
| − | a) we can't get the example to work (following the installation instructions)
| |
| − | b) once we get the example to work, a new extension will have to be written in PHP to support the license form.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Download Page ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Current page: [http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/ http://www.na-mic.org/Slicer/Download/]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Needs to be integrated into the Wiki2Web framework in such a way that supports automatic uploads from nightly builds, developer snapshot uploads, as well as automatic downloads of Windows prebuilt binary sub-packages during the building of Slicer.
| |
| − | | |
| − | From Andy 4 Jun 2007:
| |
| − | You could also create a MediaWiki extension for downloading files.
| |
| − | Then you can use W2W to write text around the page, but use the extension to give you the list of files.
| |
| − | | |
| − | From Ron 12 Sept 2007:
| |
| − | Try progressive drop down menus, that will navigate you to the proper slicer version that you wish
| |
| − | (ie latest release for your platform, or a release from a specific date)
| |
| − | Goal: www.slicer.org/Download, click through the license, then see the drop down menus
| |
| − | Major requirement: has to be '''very''' easy to use, no barriers for first time users.
| |
| − | Needs to have same look and feel as the rest of the slicer.org pages
