Developer Meetings/20121002

Attendees:

To discuss

• Create a 'developer sandbox' extension index
  • Jc: Provide details regarding the existing extension continuous build system
  • Support continuous builds so developers can test
    • cross-platform builds
    • extension installation issues
  • Support nightly builds so new experimental extensions can be delivered to users
  • https://gist.github.com/3171634
• Support of new data types implemented in extensions
  • Andrey: I would like to know how feasible/difficult it is to have a new type of MRML node that will be possible to add as a new item to "Add data"/"Save data" dialog. Is this extensible from an extension? We need to have this capability to provide consistent user experience (this is also Ron's request/strong suggestion for Reporting module)
  • Julien: http://wiki.slicer.org/slicerWiki/index.php/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/IO
• Greg: Why is Slicer extension documentation hosted on github, instead of slicer.org?
