Near-term schedule (Dec 10th-ish)
Factory Machine
- Setup factory machine
- Being delivered by Jim on Friday
- Install virtual machines
- Backup
- SSH access for Steve
- CDash@Home Clients
Dashboard Update
- Goal: Provide module-specific feedback
- Per Module build, test, coverage, memory, style reports
- See http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=CTK
- High-risk for Dec 10th
Testing
- Single webpage for MIDAS data upload
- MIDAS hosts testing data
- Demo on BrainsFIT data
Documentation
- Update wikis
Future
Workflows and Widgets
- External modules in workflows and widgets
- Interactive segmentation algorithms are key
Documentation
- Searchable index for external modules and their documentation from within Slicer
- Documentation generated per module
Packaging
- Mac build as a real Mac application instead of as a Linux style bin/lib pair of directories thrown into a tarball.
- Follow ParaView example
- Windows dlls into one dir
- User and developer packages
Promote external module development
Simplify testing
- GUI Testing
- Establish system (with man-in-the-middle) for developers to send modules to factory machines
- Use my.cdash.org for projects to be grouped with Slicer
- Developer initiates continuous builds of git branches and gets branch-specific dashboards
Verify modules prior to moving into Slicer
- Fetch modules from NITRC for nightly building
- Round-robin or build-when-changes schemes for CDash
Support distribution of modules
- Fetch build results (execs and dlls) from blessed dashboard machines
- Package for Linux?
Batch Processing (optional)
- BatchMake with Slicer via WebKit
- Simplify Condor installation
- MIDAS hosts testing results (covalic)
- Scripting Slicer GUI (record and playback -> Batch processing)
- Kill/monitor threads spawned by processes / CLI
GPU
- Volume rendering
- GPU Algorithms
- Simultaneous GPU algorithms and volume rendering
IO
- MIDAScpp as an ITK IO Method
