     19* Toolshed cache not updating
     20 - Greg says he believes this is fixed.
     21 - Time out had been changed to a short 3 seconds to avoid the cache update thread blocking ChimeraX exit.
     22 - Greg has lengthened timeout to 12 seconds.
     23 - Discussed whether a daemon thread could be used so that ChimeraX exit is not blocked by the cache update thread.  Greg will look.
     24
     25* ViewDock
     26 - Discussed how to start ViewDock from the Tools menu which requires an Open dialog appear, versus starting it from other bundles that have already opened the docking data.
     27 - Piet made routine to show ViewDock gui.
     28 - ViewDock gui does not yet do anything.
     29
     30* KVFinder crashes
     31 - Crashes on Windows have been fixed.
     32 - Eric found KVFinder crashing on Windows only due to exceeding C stack size limit.
     33 - ChimeraX executable was using stack limit that was half the limit set by Python.
     34 - Greg made ChimeraX executable use larger stack limit.
     35
     36* BlueSky
     37 - Tom posted 5 images on BlueSky, followers increased 400 to 470.
     38 - ChimeraX has 7000 followers on X.  X has 10-20x more total users than BlueSky, so not clear how many of our X followers will be reachable on BlueSky.
     39 - Tried to change BlueSky account email to chimerax-bluesky.  Could not get confirmation email from BlueSky with that email.  Zach has reverted BlueSky email to his CGL email.
     40 - Greg got domain name chimerax.ucsf.edu to use as BlueSky handle @chimerax.ucsf.edu.  Currently using @www.cgl.ucsf.edu.  Need new url certificate update that Greg will do today.
     41
     42* ChimeraX Roadmap
     43 - Added several items to ChimeraX roadmap.  New command parser, MD plotting, Scenes, ViewDock, Boltz structure prediction, Sony and Acer 3d display, Linux ARM builds, Toolshed using new PyPi protocol.
     44
     45* Linux build distribution
     46 - Discussed ways to improve Linux distribution if ChimeraX show license at first startup.
     47 - Could host repositories (PPA) so Linux users could install in the customary way.
     48 - Zach says ChimeraX download page will have 12 instead of 6 linux builds if he adds ARM versions.
     49
     50* ChimeraX on plato
     51 - Zach asks if Greg can make ChimeraX daily build install on plato every day.
     52 - Greg says he will add that.
