+# What has happened
+
+* Due to work, life, and travels, things have been quiet.
+
+* Lars has gotten the document generator to do typesetting informed by
+  step bindings: captured parts of scenario steps are now typeset
+  in a different font. This has required writing some internal
+  infrastructure for parsing and handling bindings, and that will be
+  useful going forward, when we start work on code generation.
+
+* Daniel has provided wisdom, Rust mentoring, and code review.
+
+# Discussion
+
+* We discussed ways in which the current code is structured, and how
+  that could be improved. The current structure is not entirely
+  idiomatic for Rust, which we hope to improve.
+
+  - combine things that belong together into the same modules
+  - use Rust features to limit what's exported from the crate to its
+    users
+  - ask compiler to warn or error if there's missing documentation
+  - add better error types
+
+* We discussed code generation. We'll start with a language that's
+  simple for us to generate (shell or Python), and do a minimal
+  version to start with. Then we'll migrate to using templating for
+  code generation, so it's easier to add suppor for more output
+  languages.
+
+# Actions
+
+* Lars to update roadmap.
+
+* Lars to do suggested cleanup of Subplot code base, and publish a new
+  version of the crate on crates.io.
+
+* Daniel to do code review and mentor.
+
+* Both to reschedule the next chat session for when we have time.
