    v1 v1  
     1= Attendees =
     2
     3* Conrad, Elaine, Eric, Scooter, TomG, Greg, TomF
     4
     5= Agenda =
     6
     7* Continuing discussion from January 23rd meeting:
     8  * ~~Discuss Elaine's email about **open** command
     9  * ~~Should we avoid sub-sub-commands altogether? (this affects some of the "may's" and "might's" listed here: https://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/ChimeraX/wiki/2017-01-09)
     10  * ~~Need to discuss the **style** command
     11  * Think about overlap between view, position, and camera commands
     12  * Ribbon (cartoon) lingering issues/suggestions [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/chimera2/user/commands/cartoon3.html Elaine's summary]
     13  * What is the policy regarding "~"?  How do we negate a command?  Should we do anything further about "~" or just keep them as aliases?
     14  * Session saving in alpha release: continue to use pickle or move to msgPack?
     15  * Need to clean up usage hints
     16  * "objects" vs. "atom-spec".  Usage separates the two concepts (e.g. see select), but help documentation merges them.
     17  * Should "entity atoms", which means the same molecular entity, be part of the atom-spec?
     18  * Need more discussion/revision for select **only** option
     19  * Need to think about visualization of nucleotides
     20
     21= Discussion =
     22* view/position/camera -- Elaine will fill in our discussion
     23* Lingering ribbon issues -- to be continued in a week or two
     24* "~" policy: Tilde should be provided for backwards compatibility only. Otherwise there must be a English word for negation of a command, e.g., show and hide.  Other examples of correct behavor:
     25  * cartoon hide
     26  * hide cartoon
     27  * ~cartoon (alias)
     28  * surface hide
     29  * hide surface
     30  * ~surface (alias)
     31* This means adding new representations like nucleotide means updating show and hide.
     32* Keep pickle at least for now and have future ChimeraX versions able to read previous version of save format.  E.g., release 1.0 will be able to read beta release sessions but may not be able to read alpha sessions.

     34= Action Items =
     35* Add magic numbers to session files - Greg & Conrad
     36* TomG to merge "postion" command into "view" command
     37* Conrad will continue working on ribbons
     38* Conrad will add "cartoon hide"
     39* Greg will add "hidden" keyword to command registration
