Meeting about Tool Development (December 2014)

[jmchilton]

I am going to throw out 2014-12-16 at 10:00 EDT / 15:00 GMT?

Lets make a list of topics to discuss here - my initial suggestions would be.

• Tool best practice guidelines (see https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Tools/BestPractices).
• Versioning (of tool wrappers) (Rename 'Tophat2' tool to 'Tophat'. tools-devteam#16)
• Tool Shed YAML manifest (see also Add .shed.yml file to each repository. tools-devteam#9)
• Priorities for tools in 2015, how do we get stuff onto usegalaxy.org.
• Developer-convenient way to connect GH and TS repositories (added by Martin)
• Removing Test TS (added by Martin)
• Ideal Testing framework (added by Martin)
• GSoC?

I should be available. I need to catch up with current practices.

[hexylena]

I don't suppose anyone took minutes for this call? :/

[jmchilton]

@erasche it hasn't happened yet - next Tuesday.

[martenson]

@erasche the call is on Tuesday, feel free to join

[hexylena]

@martenson @jmchilton apparently I've lost track of the date. Not enough coffee this morning. Sorry y'all. I'll be there. Been living stateside long enough that I read 2012-12 and thought "oh, that was this morning".

I'm so sorry. I expected better Internet here. I'm sure John will take over he knows pretty well am points. Sorry again.
