#* Leaders: ?

== BW NAC To-Dos ==
# Registration Optimization
#* Caching
#* Freeze control points if no samples map to their area of influence
#** e.g., if they are in the background
#* Optimize Viola-Wells implementation
#** Take advantage of BSpline transform test in base itkImageToImageMetric class
#* Conduct performance characterization
#** Different size problems
#** Memory and speed
#* Leaders: Luis, Matt, Stephen
# Registration Helper Classes
#* De-bug
#* Include timing information
#* Develop a simple demonstration of their use
#* Create wiki-based documentation
#* Load/save parameter files
#* Leaders: Stephen
# Batchmake and Slicer
#* Add support for different experimental designs
#** New looping constructs etc. in BatchMake
#** Custom BatchBoards
#** Leaders: Matthieu Philippe, Julien Jomier

== Integration Ideas ==
<em>How to combine multiple to-dos in a single project/task</em>
# Batchmake for registration performance characterization
#* Incorporates
#** BWNAC - BatchMake
#** ITK - RIRE
#** BWNAC - Registration Optimization
#* Concept
#** Authors download a batchmake script and code, compile, run and the results are sent to a central batchmake system
#** Illustration: http://insight-journal.org/batchmake/
#* To-dos
#** Simple example batchmake script
#** ID data (Liz's MR data)
#** Display in IJ: How replicate a batchmake batchboard into another page?
#** Setup reporting structure (what measured and reported in each test?)
