Development

Weekly Meetings

Oct 12, 2010

• Trac and Roadmap (Emanuele): Emanuele suggested we should create a development roadmap and make it a permanent item on the agenda. The idea is to go through the Trac tickets and use them to build the roadmap that would be made public.
  • go through trac and sort by priority
  • add other suggestions to roadmap as well
  • admins can add milestones via the admin tab
  • David will assign tasks on list; those assigned need to follow up and check and fix them

• Update on PythonSource error reporting and logging (Tommy)

• Update on subworkflow (Daniel)

• New utility added by Carlos (currently at scripts/module_appearance) to draw

fringes visually, which generates output that can be pasted directly into the add_module call. We need to test this on Mac and Windows.

• Preparing a "Get Started" tutorial for SIGMOD repeatability

• • Do we have instructions on how to use the latex package without crowdlabs?

• • Metadata associated with VisTrails: should we have the ability to add vistrail-level metadata? e.g., who created the vistrail, its purpose, etc.

• Maintaining VTK package

Oct 5, 2010

• Welcome Tommy!

• Update on subworkflow (Daniel)

• Issues raised by Matthias:

- need to automatically upgrade subworkflows. Currently it is necessary to manually upgrade a subworkflow whenever the version of one of the modules inside them changes.

- explorations do not detect an MplFigureCell embedded in a subworkflow.
