Bug and Feature Tracker Updates

Discussion items

  • GO ref genome and annotation calls are moving to Tuesdays at 8am PST, conflicting with the OE calls. Should we pick a different day of the week, or just start at 9 instead of 8:30?
    • If we stick with Tuesdays, Nomi will be away during our next scheduled meeting (22 Feb). Should we:
      • Skip that meeting and meet in four weeks (8 Mar)?
      • Meet in three weeks (1 Mar) and then every two weeks after that? (Would that confuse people?)
      • Meet some other day during the week of 22 Feb? (Any other day that week is ok with Nomi.)

Fixed since last meeting:

Issues and action items carried over from last meeting:

  • Chris fixed the bug where OE was failing to exclude disjoint relationships when checking is_a complete.
    • Terry has question about is_a closure across different ontologies. He'll test beta8 and report any problems.
  • Terry wrote instructors for configuring a renderer to color terms by namespace (Thanks, Terry!). Nomi needs to add this to user guide.
  • Nomi will also add comments on reasoner + memory to user guide.
    • Marcus often gets out-of-memory warning. Nomi (and GO editors) also sees it with GO and the reasoner. Not an easy fix. Work-around: edit with reasoner off, then SAVE, then reason. Nomi will add note to user guide.
    • Brainstorming possible ways to remind users that reasoner is on/to turn off reasoner when quitting/etc.
  • ID fixer: Chris thinks the ID fixer is buggy and that it needs to be fixed. However, I haven't seen any high-priority bugs posted about this (only a level-5 bug I posted myself several years ago). How important is this?
    • Most wg members don't even know what it does! Nomi will bring it up with Chris.

Currently working on:

  • Obsolete terms appear in autocomplete dropdown lists.
    • Current status: implemented removal of obsolete terms from autocomplete lists for searches of "Any text field" (will implement for other types of searches.
      • This extra test slows down creation of autocomplete list.
      • Accordingly, Becky suggested making this a user-configurable option (whether or not to exclude obsolete terms from autocomplete lists). Will add to Configuration Manager.
      • I'm also looking into ways to speed up autocomplete.
  • built in icons missing (Ramona)
    • I looked around and couldn't find H_UC.svg anywhere in any version. In all the versions I looked at, the built-in type icons (which live in src/org/oboedit/gui/resources/icons/typeicons) were the same 21 icons. I don't know where Becky got H_UC.svg from.
    • Amelia mentioned that she wrote a script (svg_script.pl) that generates icons (e.g. for letters). Maybe Ramona or someone else used this script once upon a time to make the now-lost icons? It doesn't look like they were every committed to SVN.

Next bugs to work on:

Demo

none

Action Items

  • Nomi to add Terry's instructions on how to use renderers to color terms by namespaces to the user guide.
  • Nomi will add note about reasoner & memory to user guide.
  • Rescheduling meeting or finding other phone line:
    • Ref genome and annotation meetings are now 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at 8am PST.
    • We could move OEWG meetings to 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 8:30am, but the GO calendar lists AmiGO Hub meetings then.
      • Karen: find out if AmiGO Hub meeting is ongoing
    • ?: look into other possible free conferencing numbers
    • Nomi once had an OBF meeting on some commercial free conferencing number--what was that?
    • Becky: add OEWG meeting to GO calendar once we decide on dates
