Goals

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss development strategies to migrate Slicer to a new GUI layer. For some background see here.

Important questions to consider at this meeting are:

• What functionality does the application need to have in order to accomplish the needs of our DBP and clinical collaborations over the next several years?
• What look and feel should the application have?
• What capabilities will help us build the community of developers and users
  • Standard tools - well supported with ample documentation, support, etc
  • Flexibility to run in many environments
  • Ease of use and productivity for developers
• Can we get a realistic estimate of the workload required and what skills are required to do the work?
• Are we comfortable that we have considered all the viable alternatives?
