Fred's notes (form basis of agenda?)

  • when are people able to actively work on the site? days(s) and time(s)
  • how often should we have regular meetings?
    • Weekly, bi-weekly, monthly?
    • best time seems to be in the evening 7 or 8 until 8 or 9 (lets keep them to an hour at the most)
  • how should we conduct our meetings?
    • we should have a clear agenda, at the very least we should come to those meetings with a list of issues that need to be discussed
    • I think each time, someone should "chair" the meeting to keep us on topic and on time
    • I also think someone should "record" the meeting as a list of assigned tasks, or issues etc. in a wiki. This person could also be the "chair"
  • Managing the web site (Discussion of process and the Project Tracker from DanielB should cover most of this)
    • what are our priorities?
    • what do people want to tackle?
    • how do we deal with suggestions?
  • should we nominate a "lead" from our number? Does Frank become our "lead" as he's on the board? Is Daniel our "lead" since he's our community manager... I ask this since I work much better when a clear lead is established
  • site design ideas and organization. Jason I know you are already discussing this on the list, but a discussion could be useful to get "buy in"
  • Protocol with what we can decide on the list and what should be decided in meetings

Other items

  • Can we use the Annoucements feature of the WWW project for main site news instead of the current html-based system?
  • I like the way that the mapguide project has removed the project info from their main page. Is it OK that we do this too?
  • I also like the way that they have used some of the CN formatting, is it ok to integrate this into the main site?
