Time: 2pm Eastern time, held as tcon using NA-MIC engineering call-in number.

Agenda:

  • Review Slicer3:Status plans
    • Doable?
    • Other module status? (EMSegment, Nonlinear registration?)
    • How will we handle testing?
    • Documentation?
  • Mouse modes in the viewers
    • Goal is to unify 2D/3D and make it clear to the user when the mouse will be used to manipulate on-screen items and when it will control the view.
    • We'll probably need to break with slicer2/VTK conventions and may want to adopt some 'standard' from other 3D programs.
