Change process
Existing protocol: minor changes, go ahead; new pages / sections require discussion / enable Moderation Queue (see next meeting minutes)

Subdomains

 * when to create them, can we plan ahead for what we need?

 * Drupal books seem to not implement translations?! some related discussions
