+= 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]
