Looking for customer requirements to be met.
We should try to postpone discussion of solutions at this stage.
Agenda:
Toby proposal

Ongoing: Maintenance, more comprehensive coverage of the code by the automated tests, distribution of releases etc.
Ongoing: Responding to instrument scientist and user requests for additional functionality.
Year 1: Creating a GUI.
Year 1: Benchmarking and optimisation of CPUtime expensive functions.
Year 1: Additional projection types beyond the current linear and spherical (and cylindrical by 31/3/24) e.g. energy focussed cuts.
Year 1: Read/Write Mantid MDworkspace and HDF output of DnD objects.
Year 1: Implement an sqw object compression methodology (expected reduction of file sizes typically about a factor of 5) to speed up I/O (priority may be increased if problems with CEPH and IDAaaS I/O persist). Essential for continuous sample rotation operation.
Year 1:
Faster handling of the instrument information (only unique instances of instrument components are retained to keep memory consumption acceptable).
Year 2: Making ‘Mushroom ready’
David requirements (decreasing priority)
folding spinw and powder fitting in (done except for parallel)
rietveld for inelastic finished off with the above line except for
speedup of data visualization for larger datasets, or with continuous rotation- may be idaaas/ceph issue
resconv - Tobyfit works but not accelerated, mcstas may deal with this (using gpu) plus capture of fine details - other solutions may be available - other groups may also wish mcstas - resconv may also be available to other users as library, requires generic approach - instrument definition files usable for input (though mcstas aalso has such definitions) but this is also calculation - sngle crystal first then powder
indirect instruments not yet supported
implies GPU McStas done first
want powder resconv
couple spinw/horace in parallel (=duc fix bug)
gui - (a) data visualization e.g. produce cut and export script, reduce button clicks for basic ops, ? include symmetry ops? (noted that data provenance already planned) + uX experience input (b) sqw create priority ultra-low
