Steven, Nabil, Stuart and I had another meeting regarding the
database browser/data explorer for SunPy. Some notes from the discussion
are as follows:
1. The decision was made to finally use Ginga to develop a Ginga plug-in for SunPy database browser for the start and then maybe develop independent graphical platforms in future
2. The idea of the browser is to develop a plug-in within Ginga using Ginga reference viewer and develop it in a way that the entire database browser is within a tab on the right side-pane of Ginga default interface
3. The user should be able to specify database parameters, types of database, etc and connect and query within SunPy database and also be able to view the FITS files the database records point to inside Ginga itself.
4. The capability to query as VSO query or download data from VSO from within the GUI is not needed to be developed for now.
5. Adding and Editing functionalities are important but they need not be part of the first version.
6. Filtering of queries option need to be provided on every window and a text box for filtering is needed on top of every column of the results.
7. A complex query searching text box can be developed in future that can intelligently search within the entire database based on a non-structured query specified by user.
