+* ChimeraX 1.2 Release
+  - Will release today (1.2.5)
+  - Greg will update download page to show production builds, available tomorrow
+  -  After download page updated, will announce to chimerax-announce with trimmed change log list of new features
+
+* Fixing Google search of mailing list
+  - Google dashboard gives info on how often a web site is scanned.
+  - To use Google dashboard need permission to put a file on web site to prove ownership.
+  - Eric will send Greg a link about how to enable Google dashboard
+
+* Update to Python 3.9 for ChimeraX 1.3?
+  - OpenMM, PyTables, EMDB segmentation file reader, and lineprofiler need work tobuild on 3.9.
+  - OpenMM 7.5 for Python 3.9 on linux may use a different devtoolset than ChimeraX for C++ compilation that makes life difficult for Tristan to link to OpenMM and atomlib.
+  - PyTables does not have Python 3.9 binary wheels on Mac and Windows yet.  There is a PyTables ticket (many months old) requesting those.
+  - EMDB sfftk-rw PyPi package requires old h5py PyPi package not available for Python 3.9.  Paul Korir, the sfftk-rw developer will fix that.
+  - We include old lineprofiler, latest does not compile on Mac or Windows without cmake.  Update to latest lineprofiler and include on Linux only.
+  - Binary wheels on Toolshed will all need update for Python 3.8 to 3.9 change.  Inconvenient for outside developers.
+  - Should look  into Python 3.x C API to make binaries that are compatible with all Python 3 versions and make tutorial if feasible for outside developers.
