UI3 User Support

Develop a plan for user support including the requirements for a standard help facility. This work encompasses help accessible from within tools, external documentation (both on-line and in printed form), bug reporting, help-desk support, etc. In addition, plan the distribution of the science tools, whether that involves binary or source code distributions. Develop a methodology for archiving distributions. Determine what is included in a standard distribution, including test routines.

UI4 Command line interface and Scripting

Function:
This module will determine the requirements for command line interaction with the science tools. Will the command line interface be solely at the operating system level? Will an integrated environment be developed as well? Can we define a standard interface across platforms? Develop requirements for scripting languages. Evaluate existing languages such as PERL, Python, S-lang, Ruby, and Root and provide a recommendation to the SSC-LAT working group.

UI5 GUI Interface and Web Access

Function:
This module will develop the requirements for GUI development that will exist for the benefit of the science tools. A plan for achieving portability and consistency across platforms should be determined. Draft requirements for GUI development libraries and tools. Evaluate and recommend tools to use to develop the GUI interface. Develop a schedule for GUI prototypes and testing.

Requirements Development

Thanks to Pat Nolen, we have a wiki!
http://www-glast.stanford.edu/cgi-prot/wiki?UserInterface

We will attempt to use this page as a white board, where we can all edit the content and add to a (hopefully) ever growing list of requirements for the User Interface.

This is a bit of an experiment..so please give it a try and we will see how it goes.
