Notes

  • Slicer Extensions
    • Reuse Statistics functionalities from MIDAS to report on downloads from
    • http://ext.slicer.org/ext/trunk/
    • Building Slicer extensions and submit them to the Slicer Dashboard
    • Where are they located ? (it is described in the .s3ext files:)
    • Maybe build them only when their source code is actually modified ?
    • Label extensions by a level of compliance with NAMIC practices ?
      • E.g. Gold, Silver, Bronze,... Coal.
        • Gold: have > 80% coverage, 0 Valgrind errors, documentation and tutorial
        • Silver: have > 70% coverage, < 10 Valgrind errors, and tutorial
        • Bronze: have > 60% coverage, < 50 Valgrind errors, and tutorial
        • Coal: have < 10% coverage, > 1000 Valgrind errors, no documentation, no tutorial
    • Web of trust
      • Have gatekeepers who review the extension and label them accordingly.
      • Define a Testing procedure for Slicer 4.0. (Check lists)
    • Community Support
      • Provide User Ratings (based on the Insight Journal / MIDAS functionality)
      • Use current MIDAS C++ API to Upload/Download data.
      • Create MIDAS Plugins to manage data / code for Slicer extensions
  • Slicer Release 3.6
    • VTK Release 5.6 : March 26th 2010
    • Immediately after, switching Slicer to use VTK 5.6.
    • Sorting out KWWidget issues on Windows 7 with VTK 5.6 (VTK CVS HEAD).
  • Slicer Release 4.0
    • Git: Conversion of CMake, VTK, Paraview
    • Moving Slicer to Git ?
    • ITK 4.0 will move to a clean Git repository (full reset of the history)
    • Moving only Slicer modules that satisfy the Gold criteria.
    • A2D2 Idea : port CLI modules to ITK 4.0
    • Question about CLI modules in CTK for Slicer 4.0: Discovery process; making it cleaner by using Qt methods. But raise the concern of forcing a dependency on Qt (that not everybody may want).
      • Have specific mechanisms of discovery based on : Python, Qt, C++.
    • MRML Refactoring ?
      • Jim suggests to add a dictionary-like organization to be able to query MRML nodes {by type,...}.
  • Slicer Superbuild
    • Dave reported on progress
      • Dealing with patches that getbuildtest.tcl applies to the third party libraries.
        • Difficulty of applying patches. Need for a multi-platform way of applying patches
        • Hosting git repositories with the patched versions of the third party libraries.
        • Use github ? create a "Slicer" user-account ?
        • CMake-ifying Python source tree ?
  • Testing Modules and Extensions
    • Hosting them in MIDAS
    • Setting up Dashboard configuration to test modules as Slicer sub-projects
    • Some CDash/CTest work is needed.
    • Currently, sub-projects must be run from a common CTest script (the same of the host project).
    • Needs to manage dependencies between extensions. (this can be done today with an XML file on CDash).
  • Testing Submission Grouping
    • Grouping {configure/build/test} submissions by Library and / or subdirectory
    • Using CMake for generating labels that can be used later for grouping

  • GetNodesByName leaking the collection from Tcl ( set foo [$::slicer3::MRMLScene GetNodesByName bar] )
  • VTK GPU Mapper - Mac driver issue. But otherwise is working well with compositing. Dual 3D issue tabled for now.
  • Store the Collapse of the SliceController in the Layout node?
  • Should the layout of the modules (left verses right) be stored in the scene? Not for now.
  • DICOM databases. See discussion on mailing list.
    • DICOM Schemas. Jim tried searching for Osirix's schema. What about the XNAT schema? What about ClearCanvas?
    • Extend Schemas for MRML, Project views, NRRD, VTK files, etc.
