= Discussion =

* Documentation for ScholAR bundle
  - Discussed how to include images.
  - Discussed html filenames have to match command and tool name.

* Trac fixes
  - Greg took down ChimeraX web site to fix Trac.
  - Greg had switched Trac to a different locking method -- caused new problems.
  - Reverted to old locking method this morning.
  - We are running Trac 1.5.4, and 1.6 is out but has very few code changes.
  - Greg looking at replacing Trac sqlite with MySQL.  Don't see how to have multiple Trac databases because name Trac is used for each.

* KVFinder cavity finder tool
  - Eric has added a KVFinder tool.
  - Elaine is making suggestions to improve it.

* Mac multi-display crash
  - Getting one report per day
  - Tom looking for a work-around from 1.9 release.

* Wynton downtime
  - Greg will try to have a ChimeraX web page saying we are down for maintenance.
  - Discussion of what will eventually be moved to local NAS disk on plato: web sites, Trac, home directories for email.

* ScholAR install problems
  - Piet says ScholAR install is failing, saying you need to restart since it is already in use.  Restart then does not install it correctly.
  - Piet demonstrated and it says it installed 0.4.2 even though the version being installed was 0.5.0.
  - Saw that ScholAR 0.4.2 was in ~/Library/Python/3.11 instead of the ChimeraX location.
