Nipype 2.0

[Remi-Gau]

Submitted by Nipypers*

Nipype has now been around for about 8 years now. Over the years we have learned of things that work well, are annoying, and are simply impossible to do. Our goal by end of summer is to release a draft of Nipype 2.0. This will involve:

• a refactoring of Nipype into separate modular projects (interfaces, engine, workflows)
• a fresh api for each component (with automatic updating of previous code when possible)
• integration with niflows - see next project
• built in support for standards (BIDS, NIDM, CWL, Boutiques, etc.,.)
• even more pythonic code style for people writing workflows
  During the hackathon we will focus on the release of a new core engine and a new core API. We would love your input (comments/criticisms) and/or your coding skills.
