    2222
     23* ViewDockX
     24  - Mikhail asked about best way to learn Qt toolkit.
     25  - Suggested Qt docs, inspecting existing ChimeraX tools.
     26  - Eric gave tips about basic tool layout.
     27  - Mikhail is using git clone of chimerax repository, and BlastProtein tool which has a table as an example.
     28
     29* LGPL ChimeraX library license
     30  - Not clear who will create new text and modify code files for new license.
     31
     32* Toolshed problems
     33  - Search is broken, gives traceback, reported by Tristan.  Greg will try to fix today.
     34  - Tom mentions hard to find tools on web page except by showing them all.  Have lots of categories with just a few tools each.
     35  - Eric suggests the update tool needs to indicate what problems an update fixes.  Currently the tool only receives version numbers, name and category for updates.
     36  - Developer changing toolshed pages appears to hang on submit.  Problem caused by Django update.  Greg has not looked.
     37  - Tom asks if we should be considering a toolshed distribution mechanism that does not require so much maintenance and could be taken over by Tristan or others in the future.  Greg suggests possibly just use PyPi.
     38
     39* !StrudelScore
     40  - !StrudelScore developer email is dead and core < 1.6 requirement prevents it from running in current ChimeraX even though it works in current ChimeraX.
     41  - How can we fix this?  Could fork the git repository, see if code is the same as current wheel, and create a new wheel that works with ChimeraX 1.x.
     42  - Then do take over StrudelScore toolshed ownership and update?  Or make a new Toolshed submission.
     43  - No decision yet on how to proceed.
     44  - Abandoned bundles on toolshed will be common.
     45
     46* mmCIF out of memory error
     47  - Eric says we still have no mmCIF out of memory reports in daily build, so possibly it is fixed.
     48
     49* Grafana web service monitoring
     50  - Greg installed grafana on plato nodes.
     51  - Some additional packages needed to make web pages that show web service usage.
     52  - Zach will provide Greg a list of what packages need to be installed.
     53
     54* Web services number of workers
     55  - Agreed at previous meeting to increase number of web service workers from 10 to 20.
     56  - Greg has updated to 20 workers.
