Notes
- specifying types
- curtis: do we need to invest the time?
- andrew: to get something more correct
- andrew: also ease of use (long user names)
- curtis: handfull of instances where changing them would make sense
- curtis: agree, let's define the circumstances
- chris: two important things
- ease of implementation
- enforced in lots of places in the schema
- other places where we do nothing
- allowing negatives, or far too large ranges
- performance is also very important
- everything wide open creates serious perf. problems
- ease of implementation
- andrew: the specification is supposed to help people
- at the moment it's very hard to write an interpreter
- curtis: could work that data mungling happens at bioformats layer
- chris: in floating point case, bioformats passed something valid down stream
- but there other cases where completely
- don't think it's going to be more than 10-15 fields
- andrew: not as much about the floats (only 32 & 64)
- ints and strings are the larger issue
- number?
- change all obvious places where it's absurd
- but when we get data that goes outside those ranges, we have to re-evaluate
- specifics
- time?
- currently using unbounded "integer"
- move to 64 bit?
- usually lo/hi precision timestamp
- anyone examples of strings?
- time?
- Andrew adds list to email thread for further discussion
- better yet, further discussion on ticket #15
- http://www.ome-xml.org/ticket/15
- curtis: do we need to invest the time?
- tiff file path and other XML changes
- post call talk with email sent to everyone
- omero
- josh: should be fairly stable for structured annotations
- sessions coming soon; have a deadlock to workon
- brian+chris got importing working with new server
- jean-marie: data visible to new server, despite small problem with images
- now working on non-textual annotations
- other file types? josh: later...pdf would be next
- haven't tested onlyIds & fetchAnnotations
- josh: should be fairly stable for structured annotations
- connectivity issues
- curtis is also running into problems
- certain network+/etc/hosts configurations causes issues
- hard to enumerate which ones
- beta.2.3-1 & you should be ok (in latest run script)
- symptom: clients will work on same machine, but not remotely (or take forever)
- curtis:
- webadmin works
- insight connects locally and remotely
- importer does not connect locally or remotely
- chris: bugs with jars? send what's in the debug window to brian.
- jar issue problem
- need script to check permissions on jars (brian has done)
- no install instructions for the mac server .dmg
- failed to install on OSX server
- generic/manual worked
- chris: if you've got postgres installed, don't use it. (in bold red text)
- ome 2.7
- curtis is fixing bioformats
- difficult to set up testing framework
- lots of layers
- infinite loop
- working on socket based server for java/non-java communication
- very simple and want to keep it that way
- ikvm does not support swing
- webpage
- will look basically the same
- some bits will look like plone
- brian: make it look not like plone
- jason and andrew went through 1 inch of dead paper
- current / move / rewrite & what menu section for each page
- more pictures initially, then when you dig down come the words
- adiumx.com as example
- small screenshots of a single functionality so don't have to redo all
- omero.fs
- working on slice definition for proposed interface
