We discussed the following:
plan to have Qt build recipes collaboratively maintained
Extension server: this afternoon @jcfr will meet with Kitware web team to refine strategy for updating and maintaining the extension server
need to improved multi-volume volume rendering support
There is interest in having realistic rendering
improving markup selection by drawing closed curved annotation as well as use of these as input the new dynamic modeler module
use of sphinx-gallery (like what is done with pyvista ) to display examples currently listed on the ScriptRepository wiki page.
a cons of using the gallery is that it seems we will not be able to easily search on a single page
implementation of python console addon allowing to easily lookup and use script repository examples (idea from @pieper )
issue with Windows installer following the Qt5 update
potentially related to the fact we build using toolset 142 while having pre-built dependency built with an other toolset
@lassoan will provide more details to help debug this

Random followup on the Qt build ideas: I found this github action script to install Qt and it uses this aqtinstall tool that looks like it would work for Slicer but I haven’t tried.
