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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6fNMQTxD-4)
- use of sphinx-gallery (like what is done with [pyvista](https://docs.pyvista.org/examples/index.html)) to display examples currently listed on the [ScriptRepository](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/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](https://github.com/jurplel/install-qt-action) to install Qt and it uses [this aqtinstall](https://github.com/miurahr/aqtinstall/) tool that looks like it would work for Slicer but I haven’t tried.
