## Minutes

* First possible affiliated package with [`tofu`](https://github.com/ToFuProject/tofu)
  * Documentation https://tofuproject.github.io/tofu/index.html
  * Nick will email Didier back and setup a "talk"
* Nick should look through #909, including the abstract class / irregular grid
* Issue 907
    * We need to be careful about defining what is what because the transiton boundaries/regions are fuzzy
    * In the documentaiton, each page on despersion/wave classification should have an admonition/disclaimer stating that wave identification needs to be taken with a grain of salt.  That there is a lot of interpretation to be had.
