+* Download web page
+  - Zach should commit is improved download page that shows just the distribution for the users operating system.
+  - Zach would like buildinfo.py cgi script to return json instead of xml for making download web page.  Greg says that is fine.
+  - Greg would eventually like automatic download page generation for production builds and older releases which are currently edited by hand.
+  - Future work can hide checksums and extra info to make download page simpler
+
+* Task manager
+  - Eric says there is a Task class and a derived Job class in ChimeraX.  Task creates separate thread.
+  - Eric says blast is using Job, probably Modeller also.
+  - We do not have a GUI for tasks.  GUI is not especially a high priority.
+  - Support for canceling tasks may not be written yet.  Requires more study of code.
+
+* CZI PyPi project
+  - Aim is to make a ChimeraX PyPi wheel offering non-UI functionality
+  - TomG would also like toolshed install command to be able to install PyPi modules for developers.  Current install process is obscure and platform specific.
+  - Greg suggests pip installs could have both Toolshed and PyPi on search path.
+
+* Phenix R24
+  - Would like to have some progress to report in September meeting.
+  - Should start with Tristan's fit ligand code and improve it
+    * Make clearer command syntax and put command in daily build
+    * Make independent of clipper and isolde modules
+    * Make gui panel
+    * Use a task so it does not freeze ChimeraX
