Meeting minutes

2017.08.28

Decide to keep track of decisions here on github's wiki.

Eugen is nearly done with utilities classes (types, property lists). Should be done later this week. Martin volunteers to help by reviewing and making comments using github's issues tracker.

For now, focus is on the primitive data types and strings. Compound types and enums, as something we don't need for nexus, are deferred for later development. Work on node types (groups, datasets, files) should start next week. Template functions in conjunction with traits are used throughout our API to facilitate insertion of custom types without invasive changes to the library itself.

ESS is providing Jenkins compile nodes for testing. Test coverage reporting should also be available in the near future.
