This page includes our latest thinking about our plans for the SKOPE technical development.  There may be alternative proposals reflecting different ways of thinking about the project.

Action plan (proposed by Tim M., 18Oct2016)

  1.  Keep for now the quarterly milestones we described in the SKOPE II proposal, pending new information that suggest these milestones should be changed or reordered.  Plan on reconsidering the milestones seriously at the in-person meeting in light of what we have learned and accomplished during Q1.

  2. Between now and the in-person meeting target the Q1 milestones from the proposal:

    1. Continuous delivery infrastructure deployed. 
    2. Prototype ported to publicly accessible production web environment.
    3. PaleoCAR runnable from web environment for project members and collaborators.

  3. Also in Q1 turn the SKOPE I prototype into a convenient workbench for:

    1. Trying out various frontend and backend technologies and approaches.  Besides web application components and serivces , this will include identifying and experimenting with data management systems, workflow automation approaches, etc.
    2. Experimenting with new interactive features we expect users will need eventually.
    3. Exploring options for integrating YesWorkflow both in the backend and the web browser frontend.
    4. Identifying technical challenges that we will need to address.
    5. Identifying issues to be discussed and decisions that need to be made at the in-person meeting.
    6. Documenting what we have tried and our objective evaluations of each alternative so that we all go into the in-person meeting well informed.
