Development Conference Call 15 January 2015

Current Development Priorities (January 2015)

• More data ingestion (@jeromekelleher)
  • standardize file layout
    • per-dataset helps with access control implementation
  • support reads
• Deployability
  • pypi
  • build script (ansible? chef?)
    • need a bit more stability before it's worth writing these
  • authentication / data protection / security (@kerrydc?, con?)
    • not clear these + encryption is part of initial use cases; coordinate with security working group
• API completion

Process Issues

• Test coverage and expectations for new contributions (@melaniedc)
  • testing as help not burden - how can we make framework easier to add tests to?
  • generative testing (@pashields?)
  • documentation?
• Benchmarking coverage (@naburimannu? @pashields?)
• Coding style
• Coordination of growing team
  • priorities & meeting notes on wiki
  • weekly unofficial phonecall - invite 2-3 more contributors

Minor Notes

• As we add a third backend, clean up those into separate files
• Current bugs in tabix backend
• In the long run, consider depending directly on pysam rather than wormtable
