### Review of last week's goals

*This section is a copy and paste of the goals section from last week's meeting notes.*

- [x] Ruslan: recreate the figure mentioned in issue #1 - plotting functions for network measures, rich club values and degree distribution

* Isla: 
    - [ ] Clean up testing suite 
    - [x] update development guide a la Sarah's sugestions.
    - [ ] Direct Ruslan to random graph creation routines already implemented in scona

* Monica: Continue with the goals from last week. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KUfqYJCE3AtqHS3KY3M70TXRSU4TBmVb67OjBNVJhTs/edit Looking at this, in order to continue with my plan and finish on time, I have to do smoke tests for 3 files.

### This week's wins

*Please add a bullet point with your name next to it and a "win" (something that you did well or succeeded at) that you've had this week.*
*(Everyone is expected to complete this section, including mentors.)*

- Ruslan: Implemented the planned 3 visualization functions
- Isla: This is always the hardest one! I'm on holiday but I wrote a user manual for boiling water at the hostel I'm staying at. Does that count as documentation?

### Current blockers

*Please add a bullet point with your name next to it and a "blocker" (something that is making it hard for you to get your work done) that you're currently experiencing.*
*(Everyone is expected to complete this section, including mentors.)*

- Ruslan: Weird behavior of github I encountered for the 1st time. My forked repo is 9 commits ahead of the origin repo. But when I click "Compare" 0 files changed and commits are the ones I have already merged in the original repo some time ago. 
    - Isla: that's surprising! Trying this myself I haven't been able to replicate the problem, but confusing to be sure!
- Isla: :grimacing: time as usual.

### Questions

*Please add a bullet point with your name next to it and a question that you'd like to ask.*
*(This section is optional, but please add as many questions as you'd like!)*

- Ruslan: Should I open a PR with all the work I've done so far or wait for the **Kirstie's** feedback on the work (in the [issue #119](https://github.com/WhitakerLab/scona/issues/119))
    - Isla: I think a pull request is the ideal way for kirstie and I to offer feedback on your work. 
- Ruslan: What are the subpackages in scona: *scona.scripts, scona.wrappers, scona.datasets*? 
    - Isla: yep, that's them. .scripts is the core code, .wrappers contains the sort-of-not-really command line interface and .datasets just contains the PNAS data.


### Next week's goals

*Please add a bullet point with your name next to it and your goal for next week.*
*(GSOC students are expected to complete this section. Mentors can optionally add a goal.)*

- Ruslan: continue creating tools for visualisation purposes;
    - Isla: Specifically to recreate the plot of the brain in issue #1
    - Ruslan: After chatting with Isla - Issue [#122](https://github.com/WhitakerLab/scona/issues/122) - create two plots of the connectome.
- Isla: I will be away until next Wednesday and have limited time to work on scona. I think this week I will focus on being around enough to answer Ruslan's questions when he has them. If I get time I'd love to clean up the warnings mentioned in [issue #111](https://github.com/WhitakerLab/scona/issues/111)
