Discussion

• Best practices: Rules for working with GitHub
• Removal of UI dependencies of some core components to allow for headless SimExp
  • Ralf: Good Practice to not have UI dependencies; core.pcm, core.commons have UI dependecies
  • Nicolas: would be full refactoring; have already created headless applications with UI dependencies
  • Ralf: would not work technically, minimal refactoring planned, creating new substitution plugin for error dialog without UI
  • Nicolas: just go for a headless application without refactorings
  • Temporary branch with its own updatesite to test before pushing to main
  • Ralf: Could not load core.commons because it was an old updatesite
  • Nicolas: core.commons updated updatesite was not published -> bug in build, now fixed
  • Split changes into different PRs
  • 2 Reviewers required for PRs on core modules
  • e.g. slingshot is not part of the nightly build, so be aware even if your changes go through the nightly build you might break things
  • Important: communicate before you push and pressure is not a good advisor
  • Martina: fear of changes due to hardly calculatable impacts
• Future Slingshot Plans, Roadmap, Development Team?
  • Work of Sebastian W. and Bahareh depends on it
  • Floriment + Sarah, weekly meeting on imrovements, validation, three master thesis
  • Phd students starting in a ca. year will hopefully work on it
  • github, meetings, paper at SSP
  • validation for layers underneath upper layer
