+= Discussion =
+* Chimera 1.13.1
+  * Changes include - fixing
+    - proline rotamer
+    - align chains
+    - independent rotation in scenes
+    - vina command argument documentation
+    - vina command/gui inconsistency
+    - local executables with whitespace in path
+    - major addh bug fix
+  * Linux installation instructions still inaccurate (installer name wrong, [http://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/ticket/16418 ticket])
+  * Hold off on release for next macOS release
+    - Chimera does not work right on Mojave (macOS 10.14) with
+      - buttons not showing at all or with no text
+    - Updating to Tk 8.6.7 (version used by !ActiveTcl) yields:
+      - atomspec balloons not showing
+      - gesture events crashing Chimera
+      - buttons have small padding
+      - Windows does not build
+      - but buttons show on Mojave!
+    - Plan moving forward
+      - we have patches for above-listed bugs (except Windows compilation)
+      - ~~Option 1: keep using current version of Tk.
+        * tell users don't upgrade to Mojave or resize every top-level window.  No, not a real option.
+      - ~~Option 2: use current version and fix button problem.
+      - Option 3: use new version - ~~one of 8.6.7,~~ 8.6.8 (RC3?) which is the latest "release", ~~or repository version~~.
+        * unknown whether new "features" will appear
+      - Actions:
+        * Revert to current Tk for both 1.13.1 candidate and daily build (TomG)
+        * Send announcement to chimera-users and chimera-announce warning users to **not** upgrade to Mojave/resize windows (Eric)
+        * Fix up download page (Eric/Elaine)
+        * Apply Tk 8.6.8 to development machine only until most patches have been applied and work (Eric/TomG)
+        * Get Tk 8.6.8 to build on Windows (Greg)
+* ChimeraX
+  * Move to Python 3.7
+    - Update to latest numpy
+    - Update to latest msgpack using pip (if possible)
+  * Need to move to PyQt5 5.11 (after Python 3.7) to get Vulkan support
+    - Windows installer does not build
+    - After 3.7
+  * Putting RBVI bundles on toolshed
+    - Proposal (Conrad)
+      - Sync built wheels to plato repository in {{{make}}} process
+      - Provide web page to display "released" and "unreleased" bundles in repository and allow (authenticated) users to mark selected bundles for release
+      - Provide {{{make}}} target to release all bundles to toolshed when making a release
+      - Extract documentation when bundle is released and install as web pages
+  * Documentation and tutorial strategy
+    - Bundle-specific documentation should be placed into {{{docs}}} directory in package
+    - Bundle-specific documentation should be kept in bundle
+    - Question
+      - Elaine: when updating documentation, how do you usually review the changes?
+    - Very rough proposal (Conrad)
+      - Move all documentation into bundle {{{docs}}} directories
+      - Change top-level docs directory to:
+        * developer (manually edited docs)
+        * user
+          - non-bundle (manually edited docs, e.g., tutorials, indices, intro, etc.)
+          - bundle (generated symlinks to bundle {{{docs}}} directories to provide easier access when editing)
+      - Change procedure on how ChimeraX documentation web pages are built on plato (see next topic)
