+= Discussion =
+
+* Should PyPi prereqs be updated before 1.3 release?
+  - Greg thinks more frequent PyPi updates desirable.
+  - Tom and Eric suggest that updates once every 6 months after a ChimeraX release are best use of our resources.
+  - Zach suggests that continuous integration could allow more frequent PyPi package updates with a test suite to catch newly introduced problems.
+  - Tom thinks we have a very inadequate test suite, and a better test suite is worth some effort.
+  - Zach mentioned github dependency updating, https://dependabot.com
+  - Decided we will stick to one round of PyPi updates soon after ChimeraX releases.
+  - Specific PyPi packages can be updated at other times as need arises (e.g. Tristan needs OpenMM update).
+
