Meeting Notes for 18 Feb 2010

Ideal Goal

• Beginning of next academic year

Task List

• User documentation
  • Web pages for UI instructions and background
• Database stuff
  • Learner mode
  • Rights vs roles
• Updating geometry
  • Union of existing file geometry data + metadata
  • For 6000: We can get threshold levels + coincidence
  • For 5000: User has to input threshold levels
  • On new geometry creation, preload from last known geo?
• Update perl
  • plot.pl needs to draw the extra stuff
• SWIFT magic
  • Update performance + interface
• Upload interface
  • Automagic blessing
• Post-upload metadata comparison (automatic blessing)
  • Handle blessed state
  • Handle problem files
• Automatically bless past files?
• Interface for teacher to change learner mode
• Performance study
  • Needs to be able to select multiple files
  • Compare against golden file
  • Accept default parameters
  • Bless the file
  • Accept file as golden
• Messaging system
• Search pages
  • Show/not-show blessed data (transitional period)

Misc Issues

• Update metadata handling

Notes

• Right now, split.pl only splits on a 24-hour clock
• New version will pull out all the metadata into a .bless file
• Create plots of the .bless files?

• Golden file tagging: where do users tag it? Data-search interface, performance study, et. cetera?
  1. User uploads file
  2. User runs performance study
  3. User can mark file as golden

• Geometry needs to be expanded to detector configuration
  • "Geometry" button -> "Geometry/Config" button
  • Trigger configuration added
  • Show that change explicitly (put at top of existing? Don't show geo until trigger is set)?
  • People want to see all the parameters of a detector configuration (geometry, logical settings, threshold, etc.)

• Performance
  • Adding many more parameters to the chart.

• Data search/analysis
  • Branch so there's a 'default analysis settings' button

• Unblessed data doesn't get shown to the world (later)

• Messaging infrastructure is needed.
  • Look at commenting infrastructure?
