Hello all,

I would like to take a moment to discuss the purpose of our meetings before I let you know the arrangements for the next one. Now that we have a proper system for running projects on meta, I think that ComProj should tick along nicely completing projects set for us or proposed. There are two classes of these: Foundation stuff that ComCom and Sandy set (really we cannot begin these on our own although of course there is always the opportunity to suggest things to Sandy for her to then assign back to us!) and projects for the projects (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikinews etc.) which can be put forward by anyone.

My hope is that the meetings, as well as reinforcing our team mentality and group togetherness (and allowing new participants to introduce themselves), will be primarily for discussing new projects and seeing if we want to do them, perhaps led by me at the beginning, and then for individual projects to ask for support or advice from the group in the brainstorming manner than is IRC.

So on that note, please add agenda items with the above thoughts in mind for this week's meeting at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communication_Projects_Group/Meetings/2007-10-17/Agenda.

Thanks,

Sean Chair
