  - see [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/chi2/transparency.html transparency command mockup]
  - single-layer transparency ('''set''' or other command control)
+   - Nov 5 2015 single-layer done but there is no multi-layer option, thus no control to switch between them
 * ~~'''cofr''' or '''focus'''-like command ('''view'''+'''cofr''') for setting fixed center of rotation~~ (done)
 * '''clip''', '''section''', '''thickness''' (suggest combining into single command to control global clipping, say '''clip''' or '''gclip''')
 * '''mclip''' per-model clipping, plane or slab
- - capping of all solid objects, including surfaces, cartoons, atoms/bonds ('''set''' if global, '''setattr''' if per-object; could also be an option in '''clip''' and/or '''mclip''')
+* capping of clipped objects, including surfaces, cartoons, atoms/bonds ('''set''' if global, '''setattr''' if per-object; could also be an option in '''clip''' and/or '''mclip''')
+  - Nov 5 2015 surfaces first, the other things may come later
 * pseudobonds that could be intermodel (implying need for '''distance''')
-* '''active/~active, freeze/~freeze''' or some other command to control model activation for motion (in Chimera1, '''freeze''' is something different)
+  - Nov 5 2015 TomG says there is support for these but no feature that creates them
 * ~~'''help''' to bring up command documentation~~ (done)
   - however, the '''usage''' results for almost all commands need improvement
     -  prevent both the keyword and non-keyword specifications for some parameter being shown, e.g. '''usage select''' 
+      - Nov 5 2015 unresolved, TomG would like to retain the flexibility of supplying the parameter with or without keyword, yet not show both of those ways in the usage info
     - get rid of seemingly incorrect nesting, e.g. '''usage cofr'''
     - do we want to show several options that aren't yet implemented, e.g. '''usage color''' or '''usage cartoon'''

 * full atomspecs (see [http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/chi2/frameatom_spec2.html Chimera2 atomspec writeup])
 * translation of menu actions into commands (if needed for full logging and replay... maybe it's not?)
-  - done for the display and graphics icons, not for menu items as far as I know
+  - Nov 5 2015 done for the display and graphics icons; menu doesn't have any actions yet anyway!
