On this page the members of the [[VRL]] record and refine their goals for the current semester.  This is a living document in which [[dhl]] will provide feedback.  See the bottom of the page for links to past plans & goals documents.


== Andy ==
== Current Schedule ==
* Run flowviseval and complete IEEE Vis submission before Nov 1.  
Meetings are on Wednesdays.  The authoritative list is in dhl's calendar.
* Co-author NIH grant on new biology research tools
* [probably] Spend some time working with Huffman and Bradley and others planning improvements to $G
* Brain project
* Work with David to identify candidates for new research projects


== Brad ==
== Current Plans and Goals (Spring '19) ==
* make research group more productive -- products are
** knowledge created
** knowledge disseminated
** publications published
** publications downloaded and cited
** code created to make publications
** code used by close collaborators
** code downloaded (perhaps by and used by outsiders)
** group overhead reduced
** knowledge created, disseminated, made impactful
* have work be focused on specific funded grants
* work independently
* provide sw engineering help and support to individuals in the group
# A+: get wrist distance-map tools usable by Trey's group, Evan in particular
## registration code broken (manifolds issue)
## ligament length code broken (probably manifolds again)
## get manifolds into the fold; work from Cindy's source control?
# A: understand why Evan had to copy code rather that using our source within source control
# A: help direct Sidra and Wudan to improve visweb
## define some google analytics goals and track our performance on them (high time on page, low exit rate, visit download pages, visit other target pages)
## update site to improve those metrics, e.g., images not getting well indexed by google because of link structure
## review Daniel Acevedo's web e-mail feedback for ideas
## focus on brain or wrist to preserve allocability, but make globally useful
## better availability of talks and videos that we make
### many ppt's already around -- could be videos with a narration
### a number of full videos already around, some on web, but not easily found
### streaming video server?
### put things on utube or other distribution sites?
## create a plan to make available brain diffusion imaging data (perhaps coupling to an existing NIH-funded site)
### be general enough to also support wrist data, gene data, proteomics data, etc.
## is there any kind of "push" technology for sending papers to lists or individuals (spam...)
# A: shift to more principled software development
## do so incrementally to preserve existing knowledge of users and existing code
## bug tracking system?
## determine some principles for sw
### main shared $G is read only
### explicit writable checkouts by default instead of implicit
### all sw components have tests
## nagging scripts
### code checked out too long
### missing tests
### failing tests
### regular tests of outside infrastructure (net flakiness, disks filling up, etc.)
## address missing tests, etc
## better solution for linux compiler versions
### don't break windows and other platforms
### get off g++/gcc 2.95
### have some better mechanism for transitioning to future compiler versions
## better documentation setup and documentation
### for sw development
#### guidelines for quick prototyping
#### guidelines for interfaces for distributable algorithms (e.g., segmentation, ITK?)
#### goals for full applications that will be shared
### for paper production
### for running computational experiments (tool development, prototyping, testing)
### for production-oriented data-driven work (tool production use, e.g., wrist data, brain data)
### for hardware resources (wheatstone, cave, etc.)
