Agenda Items

• Content development

What do we want to add?

• Access
  • Everybody should get an account!
  • jb: I don't think so. perhaps for a separate community site, but I like the Wiki for that
  • special case for translators
  • review site roles
• Change process

Existing protocol:  minor changes, go ahead; new pages / sections require discussion / enable Moderation Queue

• Design

We OK with current? 
Nope, fix it green. New input from VisCom. To have more consistent corporate identity remove the 
                    blue mast head and replace by white (grey, whatever - up to discretion of WebCom).
                    Maintain greenish style throughout site. 

• Navigation

What do we need to fix?
Legacy URL remappings (jb: I believe that SAC is dealing with this?)
tm: Need real menus so easy access to add new items,etc 

• Translations

need multi-lingual support ASAP (done)
continue recruitment of translators

• Subdomains

when to create them, can we plan ahead for what we need?  
(jb: SAC is setting a policy on these)

• Drupal tutorials

how to get more contributors up and running faster
Drupal books seem to not implement translations?! some related discussions

• Sample script how to link to the OSGeo logo
• Add Faces to OSGeo
• Is it possible to make the SVN commiter's list publicly visible? (more of a SAC question?)
