+= Agenda =
  * Tool shed update
  * Model class proposal and prototype implementation
  * Eric & Tom proposal for molecular graphical data 
+
+= Tool shed update =
+ * Committed and in the repository
+ * Currently checks local installs and builds local database
+ * Significant restructuring of Makefile
+  * Install into app tree is done by building wheel file in build tree and moving into the app tree
+  * What's not done is moving the wheels into a standard location
+ * Users will use Chimera2's built-in web browser to select new tools for install
+ * Source tree organization for tools -- all tools should have a setup.py (or setup.py.in)
+  * Will handle the build and move
+  * Should be a simple template
+ * Metadata for tools come from the wheel, which include an "info" file that include all of the standard and Chimera2-specific metadata
+
+= Model class proposal and prototype implementation =
+ * Now model class is a sub-class of drawing
+ * Export function is part of the drawing class
+ * Next step is making it also a subclass the session state API to support saving and restoring sessions
+ * Issue: how do we handle reading data from a saved session into a current session?
+  * Restore new session into it's own session object
+  * Merge them (will have a lot of "fixup" to do)
+
+= Molecular graphical data proposal =
+ * Approach is to use the same approach as Chimera1.  This avoids some ugly things in the C++ layer.
+ * How do we decide which attributes are in the C++ layer?
+  * All core graphical attributes are in C++ layer
+ * For external developers, need to decide on the recommended approach for adding attributes for high performance
+  * Not on the list for February
+  * Need to think more about this
+   * Would be nice to support in the C++ layer
+   * Should integrate with Render by attribute
+
+= Other notes =
+ * Greg will be adding a precommit hook to lint the python code before you commit
+  * We're going to try it, but Greg will send out instructions on how to override the precommit hook
+
+= Next Meeting =
+ * Greg: Model API
+ * Eric & Tom: Initial proposal for the set of C++ attributes that's part of the molecular graphical data proposal
+ * Conrad: Tool Shed local repository server demo
