   - Made non-VR meeting participants see synchronized view direction.
   - Improved session file compression using lz4 (4x smaller) to speed up joining meeting especially for low bandwidth connections.

+3D Pipeline
+
+Eric has translated the Chimera scripts into a single combined ChimeraX script that figures out processing path (small-mol, macromol, or map) from input file.  Will get it to them via github.
+
+Much discussion of control process, Phil notes that it is not always possible to discern whether one wants to treat an atomic structure as small or macro, so it will be necessary to allow user to specify which path to take.
+
+Philip: why not always make all possible outputs for a given input.  Don't worry about comp time or output size.
+
+What is their goal for revamping pipeline? First goal is to reproduce the Chimera outputs with similar from ChimeraX, except GLTF instead of X3D.
+
+Darrell: re triangles, original goal was try to get a model that looked nice in graphics and was also suitable for 3D printing.  Found that postprocessing decimation was better at maintaining appearance than
+decreasing triangles in Chimera; TomG: ChimeraX probably same, as we have not implemented fancy decimation or mesh repair.
+
+VR meetings:
+
+- TomG was able to run multiple meetings using same AWS virtual machine as proxy
+- TomG added default meeting-name server chimeraxmeeting.net, but one can choose not to name the meeting, or use diff name server (will be saved in Prefs)
+- Phil and Victor will test with low bandwidth; new session-compression will help
