DevNotes_4Jun2024

  • Any updates on Materials (pore size distribution and 3 phase invariant - https://github.com/SasView/sasview/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+pore) --> Next tasks defined but slow for the next month or so.
• Release discussions
  • Update on status of Beta release? Jeff
    • failing OpenCL and Mac signing.
  • "Contributor" list update --> Paul to work on straw proposal for defining creators and prepare list of questions for next meeting.
    • Categories and meaning
      • Only two: creators = part of the citation (like authorship) and contributors = not part of the citation (more like acknowledgements)
      • Within non-citation category of "contributors" the list of accepted contributor types Zenodo follows is the DataCite vocabulary https://datacite-metadata-schema.readthedocs.io/en/4.5/appendices/appendix-1/contributorType/
      • Recommendation to date: keep number of types to a minimum
      • Questions:
        • Where to draw the "authorship" vs "acknowledgment" line?
        • What types of "contributor/acknowledged individuals"? The full list as appropriate? Just one ("Related Person" for example)? in between?
        • Does it still make sense to be listed both as a creator (author list) and contributor (acknowledgement list)?
      • We should make sure we align "how you can contribute" with whatever "policy" we come up with? https://www.sasview.org/contribute/
    • Status of list https://github.com/SasView/sasview/pull/2883
  • Status of What's new box https://github.com/SasView/sasview/pull/2880

  • Status of splash screen update https://github.com/SasView/sasview/issues/2878
  • Status of icon -- if no consensus suggest putting options to a vote on either developers or user mailing list (or both?) --> Lucas to provide color update to Wojciech who will then make a PR with splash screen and icon.
