Slicer Extensions Catalog
The download site will be called Slicer Extensions Catalog. Extensions Catalog will host two types of extensions:
- Released Extensions
- all other extensions (work in progress, beta, etc).
The extension manager interface will have a toggle to show only released extensions or all extensions. The default will be to show only released extensions. The toplevel interface will have a link for developers to the pages describing the requirements.
Requirements for Releasing a Slicer Extension
To release a slicer extension, developers must meet the following conditions:
- must comply with the Slicer License
- must compile and install on all platforms supported by slicer
- must have test coverage of better than 60%
- must have documentation at a level of quality comparable to slicer core modules
Brainstroming phase
Selection of the name Slicer Extensions Catalog was the result of a brainstorming and discussion process by a wide range of Slicer Community participants. Some of the ideas are listed below for historical interest.
Firefox uses Add-ons as "parent expression" and extensions, skins/themes/appearance, and plug-ins as "children". Safari and Chrome use the term Extensions. Wikipedia uses the firefox terminology (search for plug-in). Microsoft uses the term snap-ins.
In the near future we will have a download site for extensions to Slicer 4. In terms of functionality this is like the Apple App Store or the Android Market.
