Subject: | PVI Prototype - a framework for specifying the interface to an EPICS driver in a single YAML file |

Hi!
At DLS we have been working on an idea of Tom Cobb's making: PVI (PV Interface).
There is an outline hosted on readthedocs:
https://pvi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contents.html
As a brief summary, the goal of PVI is to consolidate the duplicated boiler plate of an EPICS driver (templates, low-level screens and the parameter creation in the c++ code) into one place, allowing these pieces to be generated instead.
The main purpose of this particular message is to point out the WIP branches of some key modules that have been updated for this framework:
Other modules that we would like to extend this to are include further areaDetector drivers as well as streamDevice, but this has not been pursued
as yet.
We are hoping for people to take an interest in this idea so that it can be adopted more widely than just at DLS, so any thoughts and comments
would be appreciated, especially from those who have an interest in these modules and can comment on the new structure.
Cheers,
Gary
