STEM Community Call June 7, 2012
On Call: Jamie, Stefan, Matt, Chris, Judy
1. Daniel Doerr has arrived @ Almaden and begun his summer internship; will join call next week
2. STEM Milestone Build 1.4.0M1 is up
3. 1.4.0 Release Plan (tentative 9/25/2012)
Need milestone build around 6/1 and/or monthly
*need to update plan page (and title)
*Chris to review wiki version
Performance improvements
Parallel map views button: Chris to add a list of new map view features; hopes to do next week
Simplified creation of new Disease and Population models (Tools for generating new disease plugins)
Pajek-file Importer: Chris is documenting his work on this; will also use for doc on wiki (dual use)
Enable import of discrete transportation events
Enable integration between user graphs and existing STEM graphs
Polio Example
Stochastic Modeling Framework
Ability to delete Items inside a graph from Designer Perspective
Deep copy drag and drop for models
Refactor
Create new mixing edges (Chris to put edges back, Jamie doing generator, see details under 4 below)
Improved UI for decorators view
4. NEW DOC FOR 1.4.0
*Wiki practice
*Mixing edges and mixing edge graph generator (DONE); Jamie has one more link to create and integrate in models; when done (next week?), post it and earlier two (below) on newsgroup; decision is to avoid problems (e.g., ignoring common border edges) by never allowing users to create hybrid mixing based on two different models

Third to be added
*Map view features: Chris will do list
*Best Practice for Developers, writing performance critical components in STEM (in progress)
*Additional doc for more realistic food SCENARIO doc is done but not in wiki yet
*Need better top level food modeling doc (draft created)
5. ECLIPSE PREFERENCES (updating deprecated classes)
Daniel is updating and doing more; needs to be coordinated between Chris & Daniel; will be discussed next week
6. FOOD PRODUCTION: Next Step, cross correlation function
7. ISVEE2012 poster: Need to make one
