Documentation/4.0/SlicerApplication/ExtensionCatalogPolicies
Slicer Extensions Catalog
The download site will be called Slicer Extensions Catalog. Extensions Catalog will host two types of extensions:
- Category 1: Released Extensions
- Category 2: all other extensions (work in progress, beta, etc).
The initial presentation when visiting the page will present only Category 1 extensions. Search will allow to search all extensions. The toplevel interface will have a link for developers to the pages describing the requirements.
Requirements for category 1 Slicer Extensions
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
- willingness to to answer emails in relation to the extension which are posted on the two slicer mailing lists.
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.
