Feature list and milestones for EasyDiffraction for DREAM and MAGIC instruments

[rozyczko]

Topics for discussion and adjustment.

Importance - 1: least important -> 5: critical importance
5 - we aren't able to analyze data at all
3 - gives us advantage over other similar software
1 - a nice to have at some point

	Feature	Milestone for Lib	Milestone for App	Importance (1 -> 5)
1	1D TOF Unpolarized	Dream HC	Dream HC	5
2	SciCat integration for reading and writing	Dream HC	Dream HC	5
3	1D TOF PD polarized profile and fitting	Dream HC	Dream HC	4
4	PDF support	Dream HC	Dream HC	4
5	Magnetic structure display	Dream HC	Post HC (Dream)	4
6	Feature 3 for magnetic structures	Dream HC	Post HC (Dream)	4
7	1D CW PD polarized profile and fitting	Dream HC	Dream HC	1
8	Feature 7 for magnetic structures	Dream HC	Post HC (Dream)	1
9	1D CW SC polarized profile and fitting	Magic HC	Magic HC
10	1D ToF SC polarized profile and fitting	Magic HC	Magic HC
11	Single crystal profile visualization	Magic HC	Magic HC
12	Feature 8 for magnetic structures	Magic HC	Magic HC
13	Feature 9 for magnetic structures	Magic HC	Magic HC
14	X-ray support for features 1 and 2	Post-HC	Post-HC	3
15	X-ray support for features 8 and 9	Post-HC	Post-HC	1
16	Combined neutron/x-ray analysis	Post-HC	Post-HC
17	Parametric studies	Post-HC	-
18	Incommensurate analysis	Post-HC	-
19	Texture analysis	Post-HC	Post-HC

Good opportunity for this exercise is user meetings, like the upcoming ILL/ESS UGM (end of 2024)

Prioritize VISA (Linux, Ubuntu) compatibility
Prioritize Jupyter Notebook component (ED Library)

1D – one dimensional (angle vs. intensity or time vs intensity)
CW – constant wavelength
PD – powder diffraction
PDF – pair distribution function
ToF –time of flight
SC – single crystal
