2. Website Team leadership and working groups

   Discussion about website team roles and responsibilities, nominations. 
   Establishment of a working team for website UI/Design to address theming requirements

There has been confusion and misinformation regarding the Steering Committee decisions.

We will have a discussion independent to the SC about the way we wish to coordinate our team communications

3. Silverstripe Development

David will give an update on the progress of content creation.

Responsibilities and Roles. Infrastructure for coordination

4. Drupal Development

Michael will give an update on the progress.

Discussion will follow regarding the way forward for the team working on the Drupal development, as well as discussing how this project will continue.

  4.1 Road ahead for Silverstripe and Drupal

  4.2 SWOT analysis for the scope of work (ref 1.2, 1.3, 4.1)

5. Wiki

Discussion about a wiki dedicated to the LibreOffice product rather than TDF.

Who has admin rights. We need people to coordinate the further development of the wiki infrastructure including the LibO wiki.

6. Social Networking

Responsibilities of the website team in managing social networking accounts and interactions.

How do we engage people through social networks in order to encourage LibreOffice use and contributions.

7. Forum

Discussion about setting up a forum (Insert arguement here) - Forking communication methods, solutions for this.

If this did go ahead what infrastructure should we be using?

8. How can content from Siverstripe be converted/exported to Drupal and viceversa, what restrictions have to be made to get an automatic process to do so. If this would be possible, both ways (Silverstripe and Drupal) could be implemented. Where for the beginning the content would be entered in silverstripe (as we are in a hurry/need for content on the website) and when Drupal is ready the content could be transferred. If it shows, that Drupal has more benefit for the user/developer/QA/ etc.

9. Support Infrastructure

Review of OOo and SUMO (Mozilla Support) infrastructure. What works well, what does the SC recommend?

FAQs, LibreOffice Wiki, Handling Documentation, Handling Training resources (videos, books, wiki tutorials)
