= 23 October 2014 meeting, 2:00 - 3:00 =

== Attendees ==

Conrad, Eric, Greg, TomF, Scooter, Elaine

== Agenda ==
- Command line alias handling (Greg)
- Chimera2 atom spec (Conrad)

== Action Items ==
* Greg will look more closely at how to deal with aliases that substitute for arbitrary text within a line
* Conrad will provide two proposals for atom spec:
 * One that doesn't use any spaces
 * One that relaxes that and uses spaces as part of the atom spec

== Results ==
* Command line alias handling: 2 forms
 * aliases that substitute arbitrary text within a line
   * Not well defined -- Greg will talk about this later
 * aliases that substitute for a command
   * Much easier to handle, the command line parser will just deal with it
* Discussion about command line completion
 * Might be limited to command name
 * Might hook into help system in some way and not try to deal with every completion case.  For example, complete commands, for everything else, just bring up the help text.
* Atom spec proposal
 * # is the start of the forest
 * . is the hierarchy separator
 * / precedes chains
 * : still precedes residues
 * @ precedes atoms
 * Example: #1.2.3/B:12@CA, could also be written #1.2.3.B.12.CA
 * Use * as a wildcard
