Summary of the discussion

- Re-targeting Slicer issue [#4416](https://issues.slicer.org/view.php?id=4416)
- We will update VTK version check if version change is not reverted in upstream VTK. See [https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtk-developers/2018-October/036406.html](https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtk-developers/2018-October/036406.html)
- DataStore:
  - The datastore was initially implemented by copying code from the extension manager and require some work to use same base classes
  - We will post on discourse asking if anyone is actively using the DataStore as part of their workflow, if not we will add a section to the SampleData module with links to the Atlases and the Registration cases
  - Talked about [https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/dataset](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/data-types/dataset) and discussed how synergy with effort like [https://www.morphosource.org/](https://www.morphosource.org/) could be established so that Slicer dataset can be shared and discovered.
