Andreas and others, Thank you interest in BioImage Suite. My suggestion is the following.
1. With respect to issues of compiling/packaging BioImage Suite I would like to move the discussion to the BioImage Suite Forum itself -- I have set up a special board for this purpose, the URL is below http://research.yale.edu/bioimagesuite/forum/index.php?board=12.0 This will our discussion on this topic at the "right place" to benefit other users of BioImage Suite who perhaps are not related to Debian-Med. You will need to register on the forum in order to post. 2. My only other request is for those of you from the Debian-Med group who are interested to either post on the forum or send me a short private e-mail some information about themselves. Either a URL to a home page or a short description of your current work/interests will be fine. This will enable us on this side to have a sense of whom we are working with. We are very interested in interacting with the Debian-Med project, my only reservation at this point as expressed in a private exchange with Andreas is that much of the test-data for BioImage Suite is (for now) not redistributable as it comes with various strings attached (code is easier to redistribute than data). A good first step, as Andreas suggested, would be to "start working out an unofficial Debian package" that could be downloaded from our webpage. With that said, on at least two most common architectures (i386, x86_64) we can once such packages are generated, test them here at Yale and make sure that they work as well as our other binary releases. I would prefer (as Andreas mentioned) that administrative issues w.r.t. to inclusion of BioImage Suite in Debian should probably be handled in a separate e-mail list/or via private e-mail, but my hunch that we are early in the process and such discussion maybe premature -- I think accomplishing this first step will keep us busy for a while.

Even if the Software is GPLed it sounds reasonable to regard his wish. Xenophon wanted to create a mailing list for this purpose and I just want to ask everybody who is interested, willing and can spend a certain amount of time to work on this to send me or Xenophon an e-mail. This should make sure that we do not miss any medical imaging expert hanging around on this list. I'm personally not able to spend the amount of time to do all the work but I'm definitely would help out in some parts. So please volunteers hands up to get this nice piece of software included into Lenny release. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
