Tischi hackathon

[tischi]

Hi @joshmoore,

Here is some starting point.

Let me know how we should proceed!

[joshmoore]

Probably the biggest question, @tischi, is how quickly you want to pull this from Maven Central. If that's not a priority, then I think things can go in as they are. Otherwise, I'll need to spend some time configuring the pom & GHA jobs.

[tischi]

I can compile locally for some time!

I was more wondering about the java code, e.g. who would add the older versions a.s.o.?

[joshmoore]

I would hope that the older versions would be code-generated from a template that is defined based on the hand-written code.

I did a little work toward this today here:
https://github.com/bogovicj/ome-ngff-java/tree/v04-jb

maybe most interesting is representing image-label and omero metadata. Also some smallish refactoring to multiscales - mostly for coordinate transforms. I'll be curious what you think .

[tischi]

@joshmoore how should we proceed here? should we go ahead writing code or waiting for the auto-code generation from the spec?

[joshmoore]

Apologies from my side, I've so far been solely in .docx land. Happy to discuss the balance of cost/effort, but I'll likely only get one good week of hacking on this in February and then will hope to ramp up more in March. Feel free to put code here and I will take refactoring to any code generation on myself.

@bogovicj
I cannot judge this alone. In case of doubt what you do is awesome :-)
If you want serious feedback I think we need a zoom with @joshmoore.
Maybe early March?
