* ChimeraX 0.6 release
  - Performance
  - APIs
* Review milestone priorities

= Discussion =
* ChimeraX 0.6 performance
 - Looking up bfactor (1 million times):
   - ChimeraX:
     - ctypes: 1.38s
     - custom library with property wrapping: 0.5s
     - custom library with no wrapping: 0.185s
     - random floating point attribute in Python: 0.072s
     - '''Cython with no wrapping: 0.021s'''
   - Chimera 1:
     - access bfactor via wrappy2: 0.062s
     - '''custom library with no wrapping: 0.181s'''
 - Options:
   - wrappy3 (does not understand numpy arrays)
   - Cython
 - Collect data
   - Port custom library code to Chimera 1 and get timing.  Is it 3x slower due to argument parsing?
   - Write custom library in Cython and compare against ctypes timing.
* ChimeraX 0.6 APIs
 * Release APIs used in tutorials
  - Tutorials need to be edited for clarity
   - First cut (dumping minimal required information into file) for all but "fetch" tutorial is in
   - First editing pass has **not** been done yet
  - Need to make sure all the links work and have real content
  - Need to add "Supported API" string to doc strings of public classes, methods and functions (see [wiki:2017-09-21])

= Action Items =
* Conrad will enable registration code
* Eric will collect data on custom library (Chimera 1, Cython, etc)
* Conrad will write bundle code tutorial
* Conrad will continue working on ribbon tickets
* Conrad will create ticket to investigate implementing the "like" operator
 - e.g., to specify polymer in atomspec
