+* 1.10 release candidates
+  - Release candidates have been out for a week.
+
+* Reducing useless bug reports
+  - Will make a 1.10 bug report to consider ways to reduce number of bug reports that have no value.
+  - Discussed whether to turn off Windows crash reports since they are almost never useful.
+  - We could detect the open/save Windows crashes and only accept a report if they provide email.  But since no one provides email for those maybe it is better to not even show the crash report panel.
+  - Linux crash reports are also almost always not useful.  Is there a way we could let possibly useful ones through while not even show the crash report dialog for the others?
+  - Discussed not accepting bug reports from older ChimeraX versions than the current version.  A problem is we don't know the current version without a web query.  The check for new version tool does not appear to record in settings the version it found, only the date of the check.
