Discussion

  • Chimera account password
    • plato will use only ssh keys. Greg can add keys.
    • Workstations will use a new password.

    • Whoever comes up with a password first can tell others the new password.
    • Anyone can change the workstation chimera password to the new one.
  • Windows signing
    • Greg will change the Windows ChimeraX code signing password.
    • Greg will figure out how to prevent the signtool.exe from revealing the password.
  • ChimeraX download web page improvements
    • Want to make the table of download more compact
    • Could make each distribution a single line by moving other info to a disclosure triangle or link.
    • Could make download page offer just the downloads for the platform specified by the user's browser agent info. Zach offered to look into this.
  • RBVI web page improvements
    • Zach noticed some issues with the RBVI web site that can be improved.
      • rbvi.ucsf.edu shows as “Not Secure” in Chrome but cgl.ucsf.edu does not
      • Entire website is plain HTML — Move to framework?
      • rbvi.ucsf.edu/Outreach is not accessible from any other page and has a different set of links than other pages e.g. “Visitors” vs “Visit Us”
      • Outreach also has a different footer
      • Resources -> Acceptable Use -> Privacy Policy — Is this linked to from anywhere else?
      • Clicking on the image of Mission Bay in the Visit Us page leads to a broken link
    • ChimeraX site
      • Mac build documentation
      • ‘Distro’ python package cited as ‘Antergos Linux’ on ChimeraX packages
    • Zack is willing to work on some of the web site problems
    • Some issues will need consultation with Tom Ferrin.
  • Google indexing mailing list
    • Greg has fixed daily rebuilding of sitemap.txt file that tells Google to index mailing list.
    • Will see tonight if new index is built.
    • Greg thinks Google is not indexing pages because they are not mobile friendly.
    • Current Mailman mailing list software may be better at making mobile friendly pages.
    • Plato is on old CentOS 7 where Mailman package is several years behind.
