Welcome and agree Agenda
github issue of the day
Future of wiki
The uncertainties attribute (such as in NXdata and NXcanSAS):
- Can we rename to be the singular uncertainty?
- Can we add this to fieldType in nxdl.xsd as a common attribute of any field (such as units)?
- What to do about this issue (#370)?
update on features or interfaces
note we now have unit testing of NXDL files and travis-ci on all pushes
AOB

Minutes¶

Present: AB (first half), HJB, MK, PJ, RO, EW, TSR

Github¶

433¶

New Ticket for the remaining work on NXatom_site opened, this one closed.

425¶

Done, closed.

511¶

Decided for “px” as “unit”. Should be allowed for detectors only. Herbert makes a branch to test this out.

486¶

There were some problems getting the test site to compile. Those are resolved. By the next meeting Pete and Ray think they can have a test site up to demonstrate the plans for the new home page.

Wiki¶

If we move having the main website on new foundations, dropping the wiki has consensus. The main content this is kept up to date there is the NIAC related information and these minutes. No collaborative editing by community members is happening. Even for that the workflow would be sensible through github pull requests. Maintaining pages on a low traffic wiki is more difficult than working with a repo.

uncertainties¶

According to the decision by the NIAC this is allowed everywhere. A plural vs singular change was no longer requested. canSAS works on a “resolution” field and will come up with a full example that would inform the documentation of this feature.

interfaces vs features¶

Progress is made, nothing to show at the moment.

Next meeting¶

AOB¶

Travis now texts the nxdl commits to the definitions repo (broken shortly after the meeting, by work on ticket 511, expect operations to resume shortly).
