To discuss

• Ron's priorities for final year of NAMIC funding

1. Update the slicer user documentation pages by RSNA. Describe up-to-date workflows in the examples. Make sure all the features are described. Make sure authors, institutions, and grants are properly acknowledged. The following is an incomplete list:
   1. main window
   2. welcome module
   3. Editor
   4. LUTs
   5. transforms
   6. models
   7. sceneviews
   8. mrb
   9. colors
   10. tractography display
   11. volume rendering (including label data sets)
2. small things with usability:
   1. when I save an MRB repeatedly, my customizations from last time should be remembered. Right now, the save module forgets that I selected .mrb for my last save. I need to tell it again. When doing so, the default name turns into .mrb.mrb. It also forgets that I pointed it to a particular directory and offers to save in the default location. Having this persist for the session only would be good. If persistent across session, a reset button would be good.
   2. the location from which something was loaded should be the default for saving.
   3. create a preset w/l+LUT in the volume module (scaled from 0 to 1), and corresponding transfer function for FA maps in the volume rendering module (bug #1857)
   4. on/off switch in the editor module for volume rendering of active label map
3. All tutorials should be updated, including new basic features such as .drag and drop and .mrb

• Review critical bugs / Open questions
