Announcements
- Offline Coordinator. Paul Eugenio recently [??? ran the election] for a new Offline Coordinator. With the lack of other nominees, Mark was declared the winner for another two year term.
- Dmitry. Dmitry Romanov will be visiting the Lab again, starting next week. He will resume work on the calibration database.
Review of minutes from the last meeting
- b1pi analysis. David reported that Paul Mattione is now seeing better distributions for the "exotic meson" mass. There is no longer a high-side tail.
- gridmake. Beni sent a Richard Jones a [??? link] where he can start putting documentation for the new gridmake system.
- Photons. Mihajlo had updated the repository with new names for some of the calorimeter classes. The FCAL clases have been changed to be consistent with the naming convention used for the BCAL, i. e., "clusters" and "showers". The old BCAL and FCAL "photons" have been kept for backward compatibility.
Doxygen Documentation
David went over some of the recent updates he has made to the [??? Doxygen-based documentation] of sim-recon. We use Doxygen for reference documentation for each source code file, usually classes.
- The "front page" has been rewritten bringing it up to date.
- It includes a call diagram, with clickable boxes.
- blue boxes go to the documentation for the factory clases
- green trapezoids go the the data classes themselves, as translated from the HDDM input.
- A set of icons for "core", "default", and "deprecated" have been introduced to distinguish among the roles of the factories that produce the same vector of data objects. These can be displayed on the Doxygen pages.
Elton raised the idea of having one or more well-defined examples, in code, that people could use as a starting point for doing their own analyses. Mark will schedule a discussion of this at a future meeting.
David proposed a minimum standard of description that should be written for each class in the source code. Factory classes should contain a summary of what they do and data classes should have work or phrase descriptions for every member datum. We agreed that we should adopt this standard as policy. As a start toward enforcement, David, Simon, Beni, and Elliott will all try to implement this standard in the classes they remember writing. A more formal enforcement mechanism will have to be devised in the future.
