Great developer meeting today.

• We decided to continue weekly OG-USA developer calls on Tuesdays at 10am ET in order to accommodate participation from Spain. These meetings will be held over Zoom meeting with password protection. But the password will be posted in the weekly agenda issue. We will not enable waiting room until we need that feature. We will post the agenda at least a few days before the meeting so that people can add to it.
• We merged the start year PR #579.
• @rickecon will do some final work on PR #566 and try to have that merged before the next developer call.
• TPC microsimulation integration is progressing well.
• @rickecon will post data in a branch of OG-USA for testing new tax functions regarding Issue #574.
• @jdebacker is actively developing incorporation of dynamic firms into OG-USA in open PR #457.
• @rickecon will start working on the multiple industries enhancement as soon as we finish the tax functions estimation in Issue #574.
• We like the idea of moving all of the OG-USA documentation to Jupyter Book format. This would combine our current Sphinx documentation compiled from the docstrings in the code and our PDF documentation for the theory and solution method. We also think it would be the best to have a model documentation portion of the PSLmodels.org site to be the site destination for PSL catalogued projects.
• We decided to push the OG-USA enhancement priorities discussion to next week's developer meeting.
