Project: DP Creator Improvements

[cmbz]

Overview

Project to improve several aspects of DP Creator, an OpenDP application.

Timeline

• Start: 2024/04/08
• End: 2024/06/30

Tasks

• Epic: Analyze current DP Creator settings and develop a Python script to automatically generate inputs #213
• Epic: Update DP Creator to work with most recent releases of libraries #214
• Epic: Design and implement a simplified, easy-to-deploy, and containerized version of DP Creator #215

Participants

• @cmbz (Project management)
• @ekraffmiller (DP Creator development tasks)
• @raprasad (DP Creator and script development tasks)
• @mccalluc (DP Creator and OpenDP design and architecture consultations)
• @pdurbin (Containerization consultations)

Considerations

• DP Creator is out of sync with the current version of OpenDP library. Bringing these versions in sync will require substantial effort, possibly equivalent to script development
• New release of OpenDP library is expected soon that may change inputs to the Python script
