Minutes

1. Previous Action Items
2. Open bug report updates
3. Discussion of sequence annotation possibilities -- Eric
   • More generally, how we associate metadata (annotations) with sequence and structure. Lots of data sources, but the question is how do we present this data.
   • General solution is to allow render by attributes to apply to named selections (groups).
   • One option is to use named selections to represent groups.
   • Difficult to present a user interface if groups are not hierarchical.
   • Important to integrate annotations with both sequence and structure. Some annotations will be on the sequence and you want to see it on the structure, some annotations will be on the structure directly.
   • Have two related projects for 1.4, need a long-term strategy for how to handle. If we're going to use named selections as the underlying mechanism, we need a better way for users to interact with them.
