Project Description

The project aims to empower the biomedical research community in Latin America by localizing 3D Slicer to Spanish and Portuguese and improving tutorial localization infrastructure.

Objective

1. Solve the existing GitHub issues related to core functionalities of the extension Tutorial Maker. For example, not handling clicks or widget resizing during annotations blocks the user from finishing the tutorial.
2. Solve the existing GitHub issues raised during the African team tests. For example, buttons in the annotator that don’t work properly, pdf exporter breaking the original format.
3. Fix problems in existing tutorials. For example, some missing slides in the PDF.
4. Improve the code’s legibility and the extension’s performance.
5. Collect more feedback from the users on the event.

Approach and Plan

1. All the tasks (issues) are designated to pairs in the team, during the project week we will keep in continuous touch to solve each of these problems and any problem raised during feedback in the project week.

Progress and Next Steps

1. Fix core-related issues

Old	New

1. Code improvement

• Creation of a GitHub Action to run the tests of the extension either on pushing main or develop, or when a pull request is created.

Old	New

• Related pull requests:
  • SlicerTutorialMaker#67: BUG: Prevent test_TutorialMaker1 from being detected as a unittest case
  • SlicerTutorialMaker#68: ENH: Streamline execution of tests downloading Slicer

• Review the approach FileMDHTML to export HTML and print PDF. Commit

• Review the TutorialGUI approach to open Annotator and manipulate the events more reliably. Adding new features.

• Add new features like the ability to select and add screenshots more than one time

1. Use case (WIP)

• BoneReconstructionPlannerTutorial - Mauro Dominguez Repository

1. Tutorials manually translated

Nexts Steps

1. Merge all the work that was created during the PW
2. Discuss and define what will be generated to the repositories
3. Discuss and define how the other extensions will extends TutorialMaker to create tutorials
