| Likely not migrating toolkit and forcefields repo until toolkit 1.0, but new packages should follow the |

95%+ core package uptime and deployment (OpenFF TK, s99F, OpenFFs) | High | High |
| Will be made easier by conda-forge migration once OpenMM gets moved over | Ongoing |

Monitoring dashboard, Nightly builds, deployment tests, error severity/triage policy | medium |
|
| Nightly builds will be easier after conda-forge migration | April 2020 |

| No, but slowing some things/diverting effort from elsewhere. | Chemper package creation Migration of CMILES and Fragmenter functionality into OFFTK | May 2020 |
| IN PROGRESS PROTOTYPE | @Joshua Horton @David Dotson | |
Automate finding FF discrepancies and submitting torsion drives – find more molecules that have underexplored parameters, eats large molecule datasets and compared OpenFF to ANI energies, and flags most discrepant for QM calculation. Emphasize plugin architecture so other people can easily add new criteria. Relevant slack discussion. | medium |
