+* Update ChimeraX to Python 3.11
+  - Zach will try compiling ChimeraX for Python 3.11 using a branch he made months ago.
+  - Should test building on Mac ARM/Intel, Linux and Windows before making the move to 3.11.
+  - Tinyarray, pyopengl-accelerate and tables may need to be compiled by us.
+
+* ChimeraX library
+  - User asked on mailing list about using ChimeraX in notebook (possibly Google Colab).

+  - Need examples and documentation to use the library.
+  - Might release initially just for linux built for one Python version.
+  - CZI grant funding library ends Aug 1, 2023.  Probably will ask for extension.  But initial library should be released before then.

+
+* mmCIF out of memory errors
