Meeting Minutes 31 October 2007
Present: Randall Britten, Sarala Dissanayake, James Lawson, Catherine Lloyd, Justin Marsh, Andrew Miller, Tommy Yu
Apologies: Poul Nielsen
Review of last week's action items:
2007-10-24-1: James will get status update from Matt when he's done with that.
Still pending Matt's reply.
Action item #1: James will write back later this week if there are still no response from him.
2007-10-24-2: Catherine will write emails addressed to those people for updates.
Catherine will wait until Peter returns before going ahead with that, to prevent unnecessarily bothering people too much.
2007-10-24-3: Randall to follow up on the status and location of Sarala's diagrams.
Diagrams were found by Sarala after the email, but still wasn't sure how well the diagrams will apply as they are really for her work.
James learned about the diagrams made by Peter Villiger; he made them two years ago and they are in SVG format. They relate to CellML and there are diagrams that James was going to build.
2007-10-24-4: Tommy will look into using Git as new backend.
Git seems to be a better choice than Subversion. A prototype repository (a model of sort) will be built in some time.
Agenda
Update on CellML 1.1.1 and 1.2
There was a discussion on whether duplicate connection should be allowed or not.
- James noted a model with duplicate connection between two different components (with links from A to B then from B to A) was broken in PCEnv. The model was no longer broken after the one of the connection was removed.
- However there are models with components that should be represented with pairs of connections of this nature.
It should be allowed between components but not variables.
The documents (such as migrating away from reaction elements) are still in progress.
Update on the Physiome Model Repository for CellML 1.1
Not much. Tommy is still looking into how Git fits into the picture and is using that to build a basic model of the repository.
Plone 3 update should still be in progress.
Action item #2: Randall will follow up with Matt about Plone 3 upgrade.
Update on PCEnv 0.3 progress
Andrew and Justin resolved a number of issues, there are only six tracker items that are not feature requests remain.
Justin will help James out with the snapshot generation script to build PCEnv snapshot for his needs.
XML editor will be in PCEnv 0.3 as the issues have been resolved.
Updates from everyone
Sarala has been working with models along with Catherine.
James has been doing research into BioBricks, and is looking into how CellML can apply within that field.
