Notes 71

Present: Rolf, Shelley, Milan, Alistair, Kunal and Steve

Apologies: Tom

Kunal had looked at a number of choices including GoToMeeting? and Teamviewer. Evo was also suggested as another possibility. He will try out one or more products with Milan and Shelley and report back.

Alastair explained that the current Dublin meeting agenda was currently a clone of that for the the last meeting. Steve requested that any site reports should highlight any problems.

Steve went through the draft Road Map. A lot of useful ideas were put forward which will be reflected in the map:

• Documentation improvements are needed for search and authorization (doing it efficiently)
• Rolf has data export/import for his python code but it is quite slow. He uses yaml syntax with ids replaced by the uniqueness constraint fields which is similar to what Steve had in mind.
• It was suggested again that it would be good to isolate the federation part of Topcat. This might be a service in its own right.
• There was a suggestion that ICE should be incorporated into TopCAT.

 

PaNData service verification will start tomorrow.

Alistair said that he planned to produce a report on ICAT from PaNData. Steve asked him to make sure that problems were promptly reported in the usual way (the appropriate googlecode issue list) so that any issues could be addressed as soon as possible.

Milan had found a problem with TopCAT for which he will submit a bug report
