SPIE - Optical Society - end of August
Satellite Meteorology conference - end of September
MUG Meeting - October
GUI work
- menu pared down to reduce duplication
- dashboard - toolbars and menus removed, so that is more of a dialog box
than another application window
- replacing tabs with tree structure, especially in the data choosers
- server manager
- customize the toolbars
- startup manager
Comments on the GUI
- server manager - MCTABLE button should be changed to something like "import
from McIDAS-X", since most users do not know what MCTABLE is.
- lat/lon should be able to be west positive (in the preferences?)
- bridge - the McIDAS-V frame label should show the satellite and the band
- mcservl needs to be incorporated for local data in Mc-V
Servers
- mcservl for local data
- bufr server currently in Jython, should probably be moved to Java
Hydra
- data adapters need to be updated to IDV's notion of data
