 = Discussion =
  * ctypes
- * multifit
+   * ctypes wrapping works pretty conveniently but does not handle C++ exceptions
+     * Throwing a C++ exception results in core dump
+   * Alternative 1: fix ctypes to catch C++ exceptions
+     * Ugh
+   * Alternative 2: change C wrapper to catch exception and convert to a C error, then change ctypes call to check for error
+     * Possibly use template mechanism to decorate C wrapper to minimize typing
+   * Keep these solutions in mind until we encounter an actual problem
  * Progress updates
+   * Daily build available at http://preview.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera2/builds/macosx/chimera-2.0.daily.dmg
+   * Preliminary ribbon code is in but needs to be refactored (Conrad)
+     * 'ribbon' and 'rcolor' commands for ribbon display and color
+     * Need to refactor for secondary structure cross sections
+   * Secondary structure from mmCIF are now read (Greg)
+     * mmCIF reader is faster than PDB reader
+   * Adding more ctypes wrapping to molecular data for session saving (Greg)
+   * Adding custom frame to Save/Open dialog still in progress (Eric)
+   * Destructor coordinator/observer code being revamped (Eric)
+   * Fixed cut-and-paste in wx widgets (Eric)
+   * Pseudobond groups are wrapped for intermolecular pseudobonds (TomG)

+   * User interface:
+     * Add a '?' on title bar to act as help button?
+     * F1 as help key?
+   * Display:
+     * Use HTML widget in Chimera 2
+     * Reading in separate browser has advantages too
+   * Content:
+     * Help files are distributed with tools
+     * Reference URLs are relative
+     * A missing file triggers a page saying "Tool not installed.  Install or view documentation on web?"
