1. Outline personnel for the team
   • important note that focus has to be on renewal and associated goals
   • that means we have to address collaborator needs
   • need to set milestones and targets
2. Goal 1: convert and fix BioImage functionality in new framework
   • todo: create a pipeline of features as master plan
   • remove things from dataflow
   • fix broken features: 2D Xfer function editor, painting in slices
   • UI layout:
     • include stack of operations and allow vis at different point
     • do we want to have layers (like Seg3D) as the metaphor?
       • yes, will allow us to use Seg3D code
     • incluce both a master list of controls as well as a way to alter groups or individual panes
     • ITK-Snap has nice interface for loading data; use this as example
       • also allow subsampling of data as we read
       • may have to bypass ITK file reading to to pre-reading and then give user choices
   • feature list:
     • filters: median, Gaussian
     • resampling of volume data
     • crop
     • histogram
3. Goal 2: expose existing SCIRun functionality
   • import capablities
   • saving out volumes from cropped, filters, resampled volumes
   • saving images and movies
4. Goal 3: enhance functionality
   • save and load sessions
   • better transfer function controls
5. Goal 4: new functionality
   • multi-field vis; with and without locking of controls
     • allow locking of features, perhaps groupwise in scaling
     • maintain state for each pane
   • using two fields together for 2D transfer function
   • time dependent data
   • adding annotations, landmarks, attach notes
   • support for large scale data,
   • support for gain field correction
6. Goals for next time:
   • key differntiating features
     • multidimensional transfer functions for great volume rendering
     • multifield vis (Amira and Osirix will do this)
     • time dependent data
     • large data (Microview will do 4GB)
   • Mockup of UI
   • Review software
     • Osirix: Allen
     • Microview: David (windows)
     • ITK Snap: James
     • Amira
   • Review of collaborator needs
     • Dave
     • Jeroen
     • Rob
   • Candidate Data sets
     • Jeroen will ask for multimodel cell data
     • torso data (CT and MRI)
     • head dataset from Fanxiang
     • Charles' data
