Objective

Design an approach for the future integration of XNAT Desktop / FileServer components with 3D Slicer within the "getbuildtest" framework.

Approach, Plan

Design a packaging approach that accommodates multiple client interfaces and database back ends. Determine specific engineering approach for the next version of XNAT Desktop and FileServer.

Progress

Dan, Misha and Wendy have begun discussion of next XND design; Steve & Ron have described vision for how Slicer should flexibly accommodate database back ends, and how XND and Slicer's native load interface should provide parallel user experiences to maximize knowledge transfer. Continue down this road.
