• Week-to-come
• And as always, WhoNeedsWhatFromWhomByWhen

Notes

• Last week's notes and issues:
  • Jean-Marie & Donald still working on Documentation for Schoola (with Jason)
  • Talk about the Omero 2 & 3 ontology integration still scheduled for early March
  • Do we have a document standard? (The pdf doc-gen documentation from Jean-Marie that is currently in the Tiki for Schoola seems like a good standard).
    • Tiki vs. DocBook/DocGen (XML) documentation — Which ones are going to go where?
    • Tiki is for in progress documentation. "Real" documentation will need to be generated outside tiki so it can be shipped with the end product.
    • For now, Tiki will remain our main documentation tool.

• Boston
  • Tony has the GUI for everything he needs, just needs to hook it up to OME
  • Sheldon has finished setting up the communcation code for the OME-Client tool they are using
  • Boston's work is based on a snapshot of OME, when they are ready (approx. March 1), will need to talk to Chris to get it reintigrated into the CVS.

• Dundee
  • Josh would like some clarification about where the group and experimenter related joins for against other database types
    • This will probably require a review of the client operation from Jason
    • Jean-Marie's comment is that an admin function/tool (agent) should be set up for handling more complicated group-leader-experimenter relationships.
  • POJO query-bug: this needs to be addressed soon for the March 1 demo release date.
    • With the current time-frame testing should start soon.
  • Write API is almost done (sans security model at the moment)
  • Chris and endianness 99% done for rebirth
  • Does Jason want the multi-window available for the demo date?
    • Not required but would be nice.
  • Installer not required for demo date.

• Upcoming Week
  • Donald is working on RIO integration
  • Barry is going to work on some of the functionality with the hierarchy browser
    • also spending time with our users to set up use cases
    • initially will be concentrate on improving workflow

Action Items

• Josh needs Jean-Marie's API wish-list.
• Jason and Jean-Marie having a meeting in the next day or so to prioritize what is needed for the demo.
• We need to make/update a "how to set up an instance of the new OME server" for the demo release date. We will be doing a number of "bare-metal" installs on various systems and documenting them before the demo date.
