developer meeting 16/05/2024

[alessandrofelder]

• we discussed the best way forward around Add cell matching support brainglobe-utils#74

  • we decided to avoid the creation of a new devtools/scripts repository in the interest of simplicity
  • we decided that cell_matching could be useful for validation by users, and we should therefore document it with an example script on the website.

• we discussed long-term plans around simplifying brainglobe-atlasapi code

  • we plan to replace our home-made data download with pooch
  • we plan to ensure atlas generation downloads land in ~/.brainglobe/atlas-generation/ by default
  • we plan to move all atlases to have ASR orientation for simplicity (keeping their bg_transform attribute as an identity matrix for backwards compatibility, at least for now)

• we are close to a clean human atlas release
