BIOXHIT/CCP4: Meeting Summary

Meeting Minutes

1. PJB outlined the changes that affect CCP4 in the BIOXHIT 4th Implementation Plan being prepared at EMBL Hamburg. Section 5 has been removed and workpackage 5.2 will be made into a working group. PJB and WY reviewed the proposed new additional deliverables that we will submit to extend the project up to June 2008.
2. The status of the 0.1 release of dbccp4i was reviewed (see the tasklist for release 0.1 of dbccp4i, database and visualiser):
   • The original target date has passed; we set a new target of 12th March.
   • A number of bugs previously identified have now been addressed and fixed, including many of those identified in the visualiser review meeting that WY and PJB had earlier in the month.
   • The list of open bugs in Bugzilla was reviewed and some new bugs identified as key to being fixed before making the release (#2154 and #2121). The CCP4i compatibility functionality is now the most important feature to address.
   • There was a suggestion that we should make a "known bugs" or "known issues" list for the 0.1 release.
   • It was noted that bugs #2122 ("default empty project affect dbviewer") and #2149 ("dbccp4i fails if user doesn't already have a .CCP4 area") are probably symptomatic of a wider issue that needs to be fixed.
3. There was also some discussion of what would need to be done after release 0.1 of dbccp4i, including changes to the ccp4i.py database class.
