## Action Items

***Erik***
* Review PR 1173 **!!**
* Review PR 1134
* Finish PR 974

## Minutes

* Thomson path
1. finish PR 1145 to get lite functions (on `thermal_speed`)
2. apply lite functions to `formulary.paramters.plasma_frquency` and `formulary.dielectric.permittivity_1D_Maxwellian`
3. PR #974 Thomson fitting
* needs lite function integration (predominately into `spectral_density`)
* NO goodness of fit calculations
4.
* PR 1145 has a follow-up PR (not currently created) that will do the documenation side of things...1145 is just functionality focused
* Thomson will **NOT** make it into `v0.7.0`
* PRs wanted for `v0.7.0` in priority
1. [PR #1173](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/1173) -- **BUGFIX** -- volume weighted interpolation fix
2. [PR #1134](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/1134) -- **FEATURE** -- Saving PRad
3. [PR #1123](https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/1123) -- **FEATURE** -- Interferometry, refactor PRad to create path integrated diagnostics
* extensive review need, could wait to `v0.8.0` if the timing leads to that
* lite-functions PR 974 is a priority over this
