| 20 | * Toolshed improvements |
| 21 | - Greg is adding check that tool category is given when user submits a new bundle. Also will check for other mandatory items. |
| 22 | - Will prepopulate Toolshed tool description with text from bundle info. |
| 23 | - Greg working on making Toolshed cache initialization not download metadata on every version of every bundle every submitted. Only use 3 most recent revisions, and only metadata used by ChimeraX. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * ChimeraX 1.8 release candidate date |
| 26 | - Tentatively aim for May 6 release candidate. |
| 27 | - Will discuss again at next week's ChimeraX meeting. |
| 28 | - R01 annual report due May 15, and want to be able to say ChimeraX 1.8 prerelease is out and when release is anticipated. |

| 30 | * Plato backup computer |
| 31 | - plato-backup has RAID hardware that is deprecated by Rocky 8 and eliminated in Rocky 9. |
| 32 | - No home directory backups to tape made last 10 days. |
| 33 | - plato-back connects to tape drives. |
| 34 | - Scooter is working on getting quote for new hardware. |
| 35 | - Scooter also is currently working on backups of all wynton home directories, including plato ones. |
| 36 | - Scooter proposed today at Wynton meeting restricting backups to directories containing less than 10,000 files. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * Profile grids sequence visualization |
| 39 | - Eric working on profile grid sequence viewer. |
| 40 | - Wants to get minimum usable features working, that includes cross-talk with selections between structure and sequence and sequence headers. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | * UMAP structure plots |
| 43 | - Tom cleaning up new code that makes 2d plot clustering hundreds or thousands of structures by conformational differences. |
| 44 | - New command is diffplot. |
| 45 | - Probably will not be included in 1.8, but will go in daily builds for Klim Verba's lab to try. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | * Zach's current projects |
| 48 | - Adding BLAST command options to simplify use of umap structure plots. |
| 49 | - Fixing segmentation tool bugs for 1.8 release. |
| 50 | - Working on raytracing OpenGL code. Trying to improve speed. Comparing to 3D Slicer that has fast implementation. |
| 51 | - Medical imaging move to Toolshed bundle, made branch where Med Image toolbar has button to install from Toolshed. Need to add capability to populate toolbar tabs. Probably for ChimeraX 1.9 |
