Decapod 0.7 Planning

Decapod 0.7 "final release" features

Decapod's Three Servers

capture and calibration server
dewarp server
export server (already exists)
- should be separate instances so they can run independently or simultaneously
- should be able to run all the servers on the same machine
  - need a better way to access via url (not just localhost:8080)

error handling
- missing images (i.e. the images aren't paired)
- invalid calibration data
- etc.

Iteration 4 (Nov 5 - Nov 16)

10 business days available
22 single person days development
5 single person days days design

Alternatives:

Add more developers

configuration ui
- UI config
  - strings
  - size limits
    - needs validation
  - units? may not have time for this. If implemented should limit the options with a select box or similar
  - timing delays (e.g. unresponsive cameras, server polls)
    - needs validation
- Server config
  - text area where the user can freely modify the config file
  - need to back up original config
- If the user configuration causes errors (e.g. the server won't start), the user will have to manually recover.
