[Ctk-developers] DICOM Application Hosting / Sophia-Antipolis Hackfest

[Sascha Zelzer]

Hi guys,

During the last weeks - with the next hackfest in mind - I was thinking 
about how to advance the state of our DICOM Part 19 implementation. 
Using the current mails about this topic as a motivator, I'd like to get 
a little organized up front.

First of all, I would like to know how many people are interested in 
working on this topic during the hackfest (I'm sure Benoit is in ;-) ). 
Maybe we can also identify other topics so people can get a little 
organized before the hackfest.

For the DICOM Application Hosting, I would like to see something in the 
direction of a "conformance test suite". Meaning, some tools which make 
testing and diagnosing of our own implementation and others far easier. 
This could drive our work on implementing more of the specs and help 
others check "DICOM Part 19 conformance".

If people are in line with these ideas, I would start thinking about the 
test set-up itself, such that we can implement specific tests (state 
transitions, data exchange tests, etc.) during the hackfest which could 
in parallel guide our implementation efforts.

Thanks,

Sascha
