+* Clipped Color dialog on Windows
+  - Tristan Croll reported that color choose dialog has clipped text on Windows 10 in daily build but not 1.8.
+  - Tristan's screenshot shows system color chooser.
+  - Worked correctly for Eric on vive.
+  - Ask Tristan to try Windows Paint program color chooser to see if it is also clipped.
+
+* Core C++ header files not found in Clipper build
+  - Tristan reports Clipper build now fails unable to find core C++ header files.
+  - Zach reproduced the problem.
+  - Appears that bundle_builder is not adding -I flag to compile line.
+  - Zach will test if ChimeraX 1.8 is working and if so figure out the change that broke it.
+
+* Git Action automatic builds sometimes fail
+  - Eric sometimes sees Github Actions automatic build fail after he makes a commit.  But daily build that night succeeds.
+  - Zach asks Eric to look at what specifically failed.
+  - Zach says sometimes Github fails to reach plato but then the build fails early.
+
+* New atomspec parser
+  - Eric wondering how to get some testing for the new C++ atomspec parser.
+  - Probably not ready for daily build.
+  - Will add debug command to enable new parser so us developers can try it.
+  - C++ PEG library new atomspec parser uses makes use of exotic C++ meta-template(?) programming.  Eric can show us what it looks like at some developer meeting.
+
+* Small-angle X-ray scattering
+  - Eric asks if we ever plan on porting Opal small-angle x-ray scattering web service from Chimera.
+  - Tom says probably not unless some user demand, and if then we would probably look at some newer SAX prediction method.
+  - Chimera used FOXS from Dina Schneidman but no longer works with Opal discontinued.  Eric just got first bug report a few years after shutdown so not used much.
+
+* Chimera end-of-life prep
+  - Greg asked what needs to be done for Chimera end-of-life.
+  - Don't ask for registration.
+  - Don't have user fill out bug reports if we are no longer accepting them.
+
+* ChimeraX test data
+  - Zach copied ChimeraX test data to ChimeraX web site on plato www/data/test-data with subdirectories named after each bundle.
+  - Script in chimerax/utils/sync-test-data.sh can fetch the test data and copy it into your source tree for use.
