Roadmap for 1.0

Tentative timeframe: Sept

Nipype Enhancement Proposals (NEPs)

• Reporting and provenance tracking
• Workflow
  • Semi Auto-connect
  • Nipype workflow grammar: Extend to old yaml spec??
  • Auto-convert
  • Move workflows to BIPS
  • Move examples/workflows to flat scripts using the workflow export functionality (e.g., see: https://gist.github.com/satra/5943885)
  • Export workflow as testkraut starter spec
• Interfaces
  • Auto-name: Move general functionality to base classes
  • Versioned traits
  • autotesting of metadata to catch spelling mistakes
• Regression and unit tests
  • Use nipy platform testing and travis
  • full coverage on base classes
  • regression tests using testkraut
• Installation check scripts
• Allow better control over parallelization granularity i.e. sending each subject as one job

Additional architecture changes

• AutoClone (a la NodeWrapper) + AutoName
• Merge Node, MapNode into a single class (consider integration into BaseInterface)
• Allow for reducibles that will aggregate across iterables in some way
• Cleanup MapNode parallelization
• Make iterable expansion more intelligent

Doc cleanup

• Clearer but detailed architecture guidelines for developers
• Integrate all tutorials
• Convert all tutorials to IPython notebooks

OS/Platform updates

• Py3k compatibility
• Windows compatibility

Miscellaneous

• Take a look at pypreprocess
• Additional discussion on BIPS and its future
• Keep backward compatibility in mind
