To Discuss
- Decision-making policy draft: http://www.na-mic.org/Wiki/index.php/2017_Winter_Project_Week/UpdatingCommunityForums
- ENH: Use RapidJSON instead of JsonCPP for performance improvement: https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/646
- Add Volumetric mesh support: https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/pull/647
Updates
- Switching from private hangout (https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/kitware.com/slicer) to public hangout (http://bit.ly/slicer-hangout)
- New windows factory (named overload.kitware) has been submitting Windows nightly without issue in 2.5hr
Conclusion
- Volumetric Mesh:
- Finish-up changes listed in MR reviews
- Test with Fiber bundle (Isaiah) to catch any major issues
- Add testing
- Read/Write, Set/Get (Modules/Loadable/Models/Testing)
- Integration (run scenario)
- Possibly reference GitHub hosted gif links in commit messages, or just in future updated documentation for the Models module
- RapidJSON
- Taking JsonCPP out make created some issues? Could have been used in someone's extensions?
- JsonCPP was part of the Slicer 4.6 release, so changes will be not backward-compatible, need to reference it.
- Andras needs JC to give his input for the CMake integration
- Should be integrated in a few more days
- Forum
- Need to transition from mailing list which becomes obsolete. Main interest in Discourse
- See if Kitware shows interest to maintain an infrastructure for Discourse and transition its main platforms so that:
- it can be maintained by Kitware (and not SPL, who is busy running a hospital)
- Slicer can "piggy-back" on the system used by its dependencies (CDash, ITK, VTK...)
- Could users register just one on Kitware's Discourse domain and join any platform's forum?
- If no interest from Kitware to move in less than 6 months, might look into transitioning independently
- Moderation
- Will need to assign moderators who would need to dedicate time to this
- Isaiah is a moderator on a Discourse forum for another project and can give some more inputs
