Action Items

• Greg will remove ancient libraries (freetype, libz) from Chimera daily build and test on several systems
• Eric will remove Area/Volume from Web
• Conrad will look at "git flow" for common practice
  • ​https://datasift.github.io/gitflow/IntroducingGitFlow.html
  • Conrad will make "git flow" ticket for 0.9 and master branch
• Conrad will look at Sphinx for adding link for "all methods even from base classes"
  • :inherited-methods can be used judiciously. For example, the AtomicStructure class should use it because its base classes are not intended for public consumption, but StructureSequence might not because its base class Sequence can be used independently.
• Greg will implement documentation virtual overlay symlink target
