Technical Topics

Dashboard

• Dashboard Status - Today's Dashboard

Doxygen link broken

• http://www.itk.org/Doxygen/html/
• Is there a way this machine can be more "community maintained"? If Luis is out of town and it goes down and can't be brought back up, that seems like a big problem.
• "Mirrors"? Have a few machines building the Doxygen. If one is down, automatically roll over to another one.
• Build the documentation in the cloud? Amazon?

• Someone (not sure who) said they can build the documentation in 5 hours. They will upload the tar to a public place that the Kitware servers can pull from.

Simple ITK

• Dan Blezek to post Design Proposal
• Weekly tcon scheduled on Wednesdays at 9:30am EST

STD::TR1

• Simple ITK currently needs std::tr1::functional and std::tr1::bind
• ITK has duplicated tr1::is_same and in need of type traits
• More information about tr1 can be found here: http://www.aristeia.com/EC3E/TR1_info.html
• What is the plan to add this to ITK?
  • Add Utilities/BoostTR1?
  • CMake guru needed it perform system testing?

ITK Examples

• David Doria agreed that it is better to keep the original code in repository, and then map from it to the Wiki.
  • Lorensen: But this will restrict who can write examples.
    • Theoretically yes. However we have only had a handful of people actually modify an example. If you think it will be different in the ITK world, then great. Practically, I don't think we should cater to this essentially non-existent group.

3 Methods

Method	Description	Pros	Cons
"Real version" (always up to date) is on the wiki.	Nightly the wiki is scraped and pushed to a git repository.	Largest group of editors. Edits are very fast and easy.	Not guaranteed to compile (work) until the night of the change.
"Real version" (always up to date) is a git repository.	Nightly the changes in the repository are pushed to the wiki.	Better workflow for serious example contributors.	Lose some of the "quick fix" edit capability.
Bi-directional	Nightly the changes in the repository are merged with the changes on the wiki.	Best of both worlds.	Harder to setup.
