= Agenda =
 * Updates on March 2 goals
 * Blob interface discussion
   * Do we keep using blobs for Adco?
   * What is the long-term solution?

= March 2 goals =
 * '''Full atomspecs [Conrad]'''
   * Need to add blob masking, intersection and union [Eric]
   * Extended cli API to accommodate better error reporting by atomspec parser. [Greg]
 * ~~'''Colors in cli [Greg]'''~~
   * Use CSS4 color names.
   * Use 'grako' (same as atomspec) for parsing !ColorArg.
 * ~~'''Volume series tool. HTML vs wx GUI? [TomG]'''~~
   * 'vseries' command is implemented and can open and display map series.  GUI on the way.
 * ~~'''Performance with large molecule (opening, rotating).'''~~
   * '''Memory footprint [Eric]'''
     * Save space by using different C++ data types
     * Converting 'std::string' members to custom class with fixed length array - expect 5-10% savings
     * Converting 'std::unordered_map' to plain 'std::map' - 10% savings.
   * '''Graphics performance [TomG]'''
     * No longer display bonds in sphere mode. Saves both space and time.
     * Faster computation for center of rotation and bounding box.
     * Will investigate why radii blob is so slow.  Possibly switch to element-based radii for now. [Eric]
   * '''Level of detail [TomG]'''
     * Fewer triangles for spheres for large structures.
   * Reading mmcif file [postpone assignment until analysis of the other performance issues]
 * '''Web services. [Conrad]'''
   * Threaded task manager implemented.  nogui is now threaded.
   * BLAST PDB
 * ~~'''Better logging. Reply log and status line. [Eric]'''~~
   * Nice feature would be to show an embedded thumbnail of your current scene
 * '''Feature advertisement (present and future). [Elaine]'''
   * HTML [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/chi2/advantages-discussion.html with] and [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/chi2/advantages.html without] further discussion topics (ECM: I consider it done for now, until we decide to list more things)
   * High priority
   * Features: high performance, new lighting, new user interface, MMCIF, toolshed, new surface algorithm
 * '''Side view. [Greg]'''
 * '''Oculus Rift [TomG]'''
 * '''Space Navigator, for use with Oculus. [TomG]'''
 * Links in reply log, e.g. command name linked to docs. [Eric]
 * Sequences in one form or another. [Eric]
 * Remote databases. [Conrad]
 * Command documentation. [Elaine]
 * ~~"help" command. [Greg]~~
   * Implemented.
 * Model panel. [Eric]
 * GUI for existing lighting and effects functionality. [TomG]
 * Picking? What resolution? [TomG]
 * Tubes [TomG]
 * File history (like rapid access) [Conrad]
 * ''Scenes and sessions. Low priority?''
   * Molecular data only?
   * Maybe just implement a command history rather than a full session
 * ''Ribbons''
   * Lots of discussion needs to happen

= Next Meeting =
 * Next meeting is on Thursday.  No meeting Monday.
 * Update on progress of bolded items
