     13  - Is Windows crash reporting ever useful?  Should we disable it?  Will Qt 6.2 fix spurious file dialog errors?
     14  - Should we remove pywin32 (20 MBytes) and wmi used only to report computer model in bug reporter on Windows? Ticket #5528

     27  - SBGrid has half ChimeraX users (220/440) on CentOS 7 in last 6 months
     28  - Greg tried compiling Qt 6 on CentOS 7, core worked, web engine failed with gcc 10
     29  - Greg will try gcc 9 to compile Qt 6.
     30  - If compile fails we make ChimeraX 1.3 the last CentOS 7 release

     32* How can Tristan compile ISOLDE for old Linux?
     33  - Tristan updated his CentOS 7 desktop to Ubuntu 20.
     34  - Uses CentOS 7 virtual machine to compile ISOLDE for toolshed.
     35  - Greg suggests using singularity image would be simpler.
     36  - Discussed providing no-gui CentOS 7 ChimeraX without Qt for plugin developers to build against.
     37  - Greg suggested providing Docker image of ChimeraX CentOS 7 build environment.
     38  - Discussion with Zach of continuous integration / cloud builds of ChimeraX being used by plugin developers who need to compile code.

     40* Windows open dialog crashes
     41  - Got one Qt 6.2 windows open dialog crash, might be rare
     42  - Will continue look for this crash until about a week before release, then remove Windows crash reporting since it has not been useful (Eric and TomG concur).
