     21* Switch from PySide to PyQt.
     22 - Zach will switch ChimeraX daily build from PySide 6.10.1 to PyQt 6.10.2 today.
     23 - We would prefer to try Qt 6.10.3 out 5 days ago that has 250 bug fixes beyond 6.10.2, but PyQt has not released of 6.10.3 version and probably will not release one.
     24 - We could copy the Qt 6.10.3 libraries into ChimeraX with PyQt 6.10.2.
     25 - First let's try PyQt 6.10.2 with Qt 6.10.2.  Then if we can consider and test in our devel builds using Qt 6.10.3.
     26
     27* DockerHub ChimeraX
     28 - Zach will make a docker image with ChimeraX without Qt libraries and Rocky 9 to put on DockerHub for PDBe to use addh in workflows.
     29 - Discussed whether --nogui option will be required.  Could possibly specify the --nogui option in the docker config file so the image can run ChimeraX without explicitly using --nogui.

     31* Inside ribbon color?
     32 - Eric and Tom will work on adding ribbon inside color.
     33 - Was requested recently on mailing list.
     34 - Also requested several times in past years.
     35
     36* Toolshed reduce query result size.
     37 - Toolshed updates query currently uses cached result for each ChimeraX version 1.2 - 1.12.
     38 - Greg wants to make those files smaller by including only last 3 compatible releases of each package.
     39 - Greg will see how much that reduces updates download size.
     40
     41* Residue notes in mmCIF, Oliver Clarke
     42 - Oliver Clarke proposes putting residue notes in mmCIF files in a new table including note author and time stamp.
     43 - Oliver has this capability in Coot already.
     44 - Wants ChimeraX to be able to read and write these notes.
     45 - Oliver made a ChimeraX bundle to read and write notes.  Not on Toolshed.
     46 - Greg will advise Oliver that label_asym_id should be used not auth_asym_id.
     47 - Not clear why Oliver would not just submit a ChimeraX toolshed bundle for this.  Maybe he wants tighter integration in mmcif reader/writer, or just wants it to be present without user having to install separately.
