Agenda&Status 070610

First tcon using WebEx

• Web forums (nabble, google group)
  • Needs to be mirrored on email list.
  • Searching forums
  • Threaded discussions
  • Sharing Files (drop.io is an option)
  • Try to limit the number of tools and sites that we use.
  • Copyright issue on posted content.
    • Nabble allows contributors to maintain ownership of material posted.
  • Can also use forum mechanism to broadcast on main page.
  • What about non-member postings?
    • Can subscribe in mailman without being set up to receive emails?
• Google testing framework
  • CDash aggregates results
  • CTest runs the tests
  • Google testing provides a framework for unit tests.
    • Test "A" should return a value of 5, verify the test produces the correct value
      • Currently encoded in individual tests by the test writer
    • Google Test Primer
  • Google Test could streamline the process of writing tests and hence make it more likely that people write good tests
  • What are the requirements for a new test framework?
  • How does this tie into CTest @ Home?
  • How does Google Test compare to Brad's article on IJ on testing?
  • Luis, Dan, Hans, Brad, Brian to follow up
• Wrapping (Stephen's hair brained idea)
  • Matlab like wrapping sounds good
  • Microscopy people still use streaming and pipeline
  • Python infrastructure register modules with pipeline. Dan's design does support some of this?
  • Also sounds like NiPype but NiPype doesn't stream
• Google Docs site for sharing proposals for ITK v4 and A2D2. Just technical sections, no business plans needed. Email Jim to get access.
