* Part I consists of Ethan's interviews with six Cytoscapers (Trey, Gary, Ben, Allan, Aditya, and Rowan). I had hoped to interview more people before the Cytoscape retreat, but unfortunately didn't have time to get to everybody. In Part I, I have done my best to paraphrase people's comments, and I have not indicidated who said what. * Part II consists of ideas which were culled from Ethan's interviews, and are now presented as concrete proposals to the larger group. |

==== Cytosaper #1: ==== * We pushed the release date out too much. We should have coordinated our efforts much earlier; we probably could have done something by August. We could have done a much better job if we had coordinated earlier on. I think this compromised the quality of the chosen feature set. * Next time, we need to decide the feature set straight away. Then, do design and implementation in the next 2-3 months, so that we can do a real six month release cycle. * Feature set was based on developer interests, not really based on user's feedback. We need a better mechanism to get more feedback from real users. ==== Cytoscaper #2: ==== * I think we chose the right set of features. For example, we chose a set of features that go well together, e.g. the new attribute browse goes well with the {{{CytoPanel}}} API. Plus, the editor fits in. Metanodes could have been in there too, and that would have been nice. * Timeliness could have been better. Quality could have been better. * That said, there are always trade-offs. In the tradeoff between: {{{GraphObjAttributes}}} v. {{{CytoscapeData}}} v. {{{CyAttributes}}}, I think we made the right decision. If we have had put Cytoscape 2.2 out the door a month ago without {{{CyAttributes}}}, it would have been a lot buggier. == Part II: The Recommendations == |

About this Document
This is an official Request for Comment (RFC) for "improving the quality of the Cytoscape 2.3 release."
RFC 2 is divided in three parts:
- Part I consists of Ethan's interviews with six Cytoscapers (Trey, Gary, Ben, Allan, Aditya, and Rowan). I had hoped to interview more people before the Cytoscape retreat, but unfortunately didn't have time to get to everybody. In Part I, I have done my best to paraphrase people's comments, and I have not indicated who said what. The order of comments, e.g. Cytoscaper #1, #2, etc. is arbitrary.
- Part II consists of ideas generated at the 2005 Cytoscape retreat.
- Part III consists of final, concreate ideas, which are being proposed to the Cytoscape group.
