Agenda

• Chimera 2 functionality for initial release
• Blobs or no?

Discussion

• Discussed what user functionality to put in first Chimera 2 release
• Chose from list of functions to emphasize "presentation images" and cellPACK/multiscale.

• Eric discussed problems using atom indices in blobs.
• Decided bonds could be returned at two atom blobs instead of pairs of atom indices.

• Discussed whether we will have Python atom objects, also bonds, residues, chains.... Yes.

• Conrad discussed using atom blobs in "collections" (= "selections" in Chimera 1 terminology)
• Discussed how to register new object types that go into collections to be used by atom spec code.

Action Items

• Elaine and Conrad will propose ideal presentation image features and UI for initial release.
• Graham and Tom G will propose ideal cellPACK/multiscale features and UI for initial release.
• Conrad will make APIs to register object types for atom spec parsing
• Eric will have atom blob bonds return two atom blobs of paired atoms instead of atom indices.
