Hello
Please see the following comment as a constructive comment, from someone
who can not go to all meetings, but sometimes like to know what has been
decided in the meetings.
If you write
* Wikimania: Liaise volunteer
Taking notes of goings on....and when it comes up... participating
This is interesting, but force those not at the meeting to ask "okay,
this probably means that someone was nominated to be liaising, but who
was it ?"
It results in a loss of time for the one asking and a loss of time for
the one answering.
It also imply that all those at the meeting will exactly remember the
decisions taken (which is not always true)
So, a suggestion. Writing a summary of the meeting is a good idea, but
the format needs to be slightly different and requires hardly more time.
Consider for each topic raised, mentionning the topic AND writing down
tbe decision taken
For example
*symode09 introduced himself as video editor (and more)
Outcome: he was welcome and we all told him we loved the project idea. A
new meeting on the topic is planned wenesday 2nd
* Presslist: Status? Some discussion about database formats.
Outcome: only discussion. No decision taken
* Bastique: needs a press release for wikibooks.
Outcome: Sandy agreed to work on a PR on the topic, in the next two weeks
* Wiki_Blue: .05 release, covered by BBC and Associated Press
Outcome: it was covered by 15 main press media. There were some problems
in the french press, resulting in the publishing being credited to the
Foundation rather than Linterweb
* Wiki_Blue -- CraigSpurrier: NY Times magazine: wikipedia & wikinews
Outcome: Just informative
* Wikimania: Liaise volunteer
Taking notes of goings on....and when it comes up... participating
Outcome: Decision taken: Schiste will be liaison
* PR project: promoting WikiPorject Classroom. Information already on
the email-list
Outcome: no decision
Of course, all my outcomes are invented. But do you see the difference
for those reading the report ? It would be huge if you could do that.
Cheers
Ant

Next meeting -> agenda
We can elaborate on these topics, throwing ideas. Part of the agenda
for the next meeting could be constructed from this input.
