* Web site accessibility remediation
 - Score is now 97%.
 - 3 potential issues still listed but can be dealt with at our leisure.

* Software export control
 - May need to restrict distribution of ChimeraX to Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, certain regions of Ukraine.
 - UCSF export control office may look at ChimeraX. Interested in encryption technology.
 - Don't have a date when this will happen.

* Restoring historical videos
 - Scooter worked on Cronkite_Singing_Genes.mov.
 - Tried Adobe Premiere.  Can apply filters to specific segments (e.g. switch to black and white in b/w segments)
 - Then tried Topaz AI.  Processes whole video as one chunk.  Used deinterlace and Proteus algorithms.
 - Did second Topaz pass of Theia and NixXL filters.
 - Topaz did not do much better than Premiere.
 - Topaz Pro has Starlight algorithm that might do better, $700.
 - AI algorithms improving.  We could get Premiere and Topaz plugin.  Or we can wait for better algorithms.
 - Tom Ferrin asks if the original NTSC tapes are still valuable.  Scooter says some are, others are not our material.  Videos with Bob Langridge are valuable.
 - Scooter will add README file to original clips directory listing the most valuable videos.

* Gestwicki lab post-translational modification web app
 - Wants to present at our group meeting what they have done.
 - Will try to schedule for next Thursday.

* Toolshed caching of update results
 - Greg added caching for one query last night.  Not sure if it is the query with heavy load.
 - Scooter says MariaDB still running at 53% cpu utilization.
 - Greg will make sure caching is being used.
