CCB / Shape Tools - Notes on 8 June 2005 Meeting

Discussed:

  • The CCB Presentation went well.
  • CCB Feeback:
    • Need products * Need Solid Identity.
    • CCB main products are software.
    • CCB software will need good software engineering.
    • Advised to clarify the CCB identity: what are we doing ?

  • Future CCB research will need a good wayhow to represent shapes. We are well positioned to solve that need with ShapeTools.

  • Version numbering schema : we adopted Apple's convention of

<major>.<minor>.<patchlevel>[<type><release>]

Thus: current library and shape viewer is 1.0.0 .

  • Jeff has added a "Reverse Points" button to viewer to alter lighting model. This would be version 1.1.0d0

  • We have two types of users:
    • Neuroscientists, who will just want to use , say, the viewer.
    • Algorithm developers and researchers who will use the library for computations.

  • A Review of what worked, and did not work, in last development cycle.

To Do for next week:

  • [X] Craig - confirm ShapeViewer CCB_Tools_MeiheXu_SurfaceExtractionTutorialUsage manual available on web w/o having to download the entire package.
  • [X] Craig - critique ShapeTools library.
  • [X] Craig - distribute review items and summarize with recommendations to improve process of software development.
  • [ ] Craig (with Jeff) - revise and post Software developer style guidelines.

  • [X] Craig - Check revised ShapeViewer code into CVS as version 1.1.0d1
  • [X] Craig - Check ShapeTools code into CVS as version 1.0.0
  • [X] Craig - create and distribute TWiki topic to hold feature wish lists for both Viewer and Tools.

  • [ ] Jeff - critique ShapeViewer.
