4 | | * The new BASE plug-in registration package ''!MeLuDi'' for melanoma/lung cancer projects, will be based on Reggie, where possible, but will be a stand-alone package. The advantages of using Reggie as model are numerous:[[BR]][[BR]]a. Faster development. Many operations are fully or nearly identical for the two projects, and using the Reggie code base will reduce development time.[[BR]]b. More stable code. Reggie has already been through several cycles of development iterations, where found bugs have been fixed, and new code has been written with previous experiences in mind.[[BR]]c. More streamlined code. The development iterations have also led to more streamlined code design.[[BR]]d. A consistent user interface. Having a consistent user interface is an advantage in itself. Basing !MeLuDi on Reggie will have a two-fold advantage, since lab personnel used to Reggie, will need less time to adapt to !MeLuDi.[[BR]][[BR]]Using Reggie code as inspiration, will hopefully transfer a lot of the benefits listed above to !MeLuDi. Unfortunately, the differences in lab procedure are too big to prevent the latter as being developed as a branch of the Reggie code. The source code will therefore be entered in the subversion source code revision system as an independent package. |
