BIOXHIT/CCP4: Meeting Summary

Meeting Minutes

1. Review the tasklist for release 0.2 of dbccp4i, database and visualiser
   • PJB suggested not to make major changes on current version because it would introduce protential bugs. Need to make a branch in CVS for release.
   • There is a need to set up test suite to test the various components of the system.
   • Need to sort out the dependencies.
   • Consolidataion of client API: need to change the name of API. such as handler -> server, database -> project etc. Tcl API is weak in error handling. Need to increase default timeouts in client API. In client API, it should keep a copy of database, when receive broadcast then update the data cashe. This requires the formalisation of broadcast messages.
   • PJB plans to integrate dbccp4i into CCP4i at the end of June.
2. Review deliverables & milestones. Report on Milestone M07/1, M07/2, M07/3 need to be done.
3. Prepare poster for AcA in July and BSR in August.
