+    * Conrad
+    * UI is the focus
+  - Rescan tickets, in particular, findclash
+* Need to investigate
+  - Replace ctypes in atomic with Cython
+* Make ChimeraX tickets viewable publicly
+  - ~~Private tickets need to start private
+  - ~~Alternative, make all tickets public and make UI say "don't send private data"
+  - Make tickets public now and add warning later when needed
+* Custom Qt for ChimeraX
+  a. Ignore the problems
+    - tool windows always on top of app (on Mac, ALL apps)
+    - tool windows disappear when focus goes to another app (on Mac and Windows)
+  b. Fix it for easy platform (Mac)
+    - Can recompile Qt and drop in libraries after !PyQt installation
+  c. ~~Fix it for all platforms
+  d. Submit pull request to Qt maintainers
+  - b and c requires compiling Qt and rebuilding !PyQt
+  - d depends on !Qt/PyQt maintainers to accept and incorporate pull request
+  - Eric will (Mac only) compile Qt, build !PyQt wheel, put back on plato
+  - Eric will submit pull request to Qt with full changes eventually
+* Beta release topics
+  - Meeting on Monday
+  - Why do we need a beta so soon?  Why not leave it as alpha?
+  - Is December a realistic target?
+  - Will bundles move out from core, e.g., atomic?
+  - What are the beta APIs?  Toolshed.  Atomic.  Command...
+  - How much "firming up" API is needed?
+  - What consists of "the API"?  Public methods, even those without Sphinx documentation?
+  - Release protocol for "core" bundles?
