Description
Welcome to your first on-boarding task for the IGB core development team!
We are super excited you have joined us! We hope you will enjoy your time with us and will make big contributions to the code base and the IGB community.
For the next steps, please do the following tasks to get familiar with IGB and how it is used.
Note that this issue has 3 story points.
A "story point" is an estimate for how long a task ought to take. One day is roughly equal to one story point.
This means you should expect to spend about three working days on this "on-boarding" task. Take your time on this task and explore the IGB interface to better understand how it works.

Get started using IGB:
- Download and install the current release of IGB onto your computer from https://bioviz.org/
- Click the “install IGB” button in the top right. (The appropriate version for your operating system should be supplied for you.)
- Click the button to download IGB for your computer
- Run the downloaded file
- Follow the instructions in the setup wizard.
- Open and run the Integrated Genome Browser software.
- The IGB Quickstart webpage will open automatically in your web browser.
- IGB may take several seconds to launch.
- Using IGB, follow along and copy the actions shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjPNT1k9cqk
- Re-create the scene shown at the very end of the video.
- Then use the camera icon button in the IGB toolbar at the top, or go to File > Save Image to take a picture of IGB showing the scene at the end of the video;
- Upload that image here as an attachment (you can use the plus icon to the right of Attachments).
- Move the ticket to Needs 1st Level Review by clicking the Workflow dropdown button at the top (under the ticket name), and select Request Review. You could also drag the ticket over to the right one space from the Agile board > IGB > Work view.
- Since this might be the first ticket you do, and it needs to be completed before you move on to On-Boarding: Step 1 (Step 0 is a blocker for Step 1): Reach out to another developer here to review your ticket with you before you move on.
Reviewers:
- Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjPNT1k9cqk
- Confirm that the assignee has uploaded an image with graphs loaded and configured to the same scale as each other, as shown in the video
- Confirm that the assignee has enrolled in the class. To do this select the People tab and look for the student’s name in the list.

Feedback:
Overall, this new version of the module is very straightforward and easy to follow. I was able to easily put myself in the shoes of someone new and easily walk through all seven steps. The only thing I might clarify is in step 7, telling them an indication of where the IGB toolbar is for the camera could be helpful especially if this might be their first time ever using IGB.
