+## Current Development Priorities
+
+Here are the rough development priorities for adding new features to MontePy:
+
+#. Redesign the `Material` interface to be more user friendly.
+#. Implement support for tallies.
+#. Implement support for source definitions.
+
+If you have a specific feature priority that you would be willing to collaborate on you can open an issue or email us at [mgale@montepy.org](mailto:mgale@montepy.org).

 There are some python packages that offer some of the same features as MontePy,
     but don't offer the same level of robustness, ease of installation, and user friendliness.

+Installing Optional Dependencies
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+MontePy offers multiple optional dependencies which some users may desire,
+though this is mostly intended for developers.
+Pip can install these through the following command:
+
+``pip install montepy[<extras>]``
+
+Where ``<extras>`` is one of the following options:
+
+#. ``demos``: installs the dependencies for running the demo problems in `jupyter <https://jupyter.org/>`_.
+
+#. ``doc``: installs the dependencies for building the website using `sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>`_.
+
+#. ``build``: installs the dependencies for building the source distribution packages.
+
+#. ``format``: install the dependencies for formatting the code with `black <https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html>`_. 
+
+#. ``test``: installs the dependencies for testing the software.
+
+#. ``demo-test``: installs the dependencies for testing the demos.
+
+#. ``develop``: installs everything a developer may need, specifically: ``montepy[test,doc,format,demo-test]``.

 For instance what if you want to shift a cell up in Z by 10 cm? 
 It would be horrible to have to get each surface by their number, and hoping you don't change the numbers along the way.

+Setting Boundary Conditions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+As discussed in :manual63:`5.3.1` surfaces can have three boundary conditions:
+
+* Reflective boundary
+* White boundary
+* periodic boundary
+
+.. note::
+
+   Vacuum boundary conditions are the fourth type.
+   They are defined by cells with 0 importance though.
+
+The reflective and white boundary conditions are easiest to set as they are Boolean conditions.
+These are controlled by :func:`~montepy.surfaces.surface.Surface.is_reflecting` and 
+:func:`~montepy.surfaces.surface.Surface.is_white_boundary` respectively.
+For Example:
+
+.. testcode::
+
+   from montepy.surfaces.surface_type import SurfaceType
+
+   bottom = montepy.surfaces.axis_plane.AxisPlane()
+   bottom.surface_type = SurfaceType.PZ
+   bottom.is_reflecting = True
+
+   cyl = montepy.surfaces.cylinder_on_axis.CylinderOnAxis()
+   cyl.surface_type = SurfaceType.CZ
+   cyl.is_white_boundary = True
+
+
+Setting a periodic boundary is slightly more difficult. 
+In this case the boundary condition must be set to the other periodic surface with :func:`~montepy.surfaces.surface.Surface.periodic_surface`.
+So to continue with the previous example:
+
+.. testcode::
+
+   bottom.location = 0.0
+   bottom.is_reflecting = False
+
+   top = montepy.surfaces.axis_plane.AxisPlane()
+   top.surface_type = SurfaceType.PZ
+   top.location = 1.26
+
+   bottom.periodic_surface = top
