    • Set up on web page for this meeting; 11 in the end; big fraction from ppl who knew about IVOA; How much work - not that much; Should we keep it ?? JE said yes - keeps things open to newcomers and generaal audience; MCD agreed but did cause some confusion about whether DM group should advertise on their own or wait for input from the main page.

    • How do we make it along with usual call from contributions that come to the list?
      • MD suggested a template for calls for presentations at the Interop; that all WG/IG chairs can use it. Added action.
      • GM suggested that after an exchange that first you put the persons name and later you come back with the abstract - Marco says yes, just how you set permissions. GM also suggested that a tag get added for the group after the initial input.
      • Renaud noted that the wiki is important for the IVOA memory; Marco - no intention to move away
      • Using or not using Indico ... and do we want to be tied to the DB;; needs further discussion

    • needs some revision ... somewhat out of date - Markus ported doc & pdf version to ivoatex. Identified some issues in a meeting of 4 (Marco, Tom, Markus, xx)
Added:

    • How to make the process less clunky that the twiki page - leverage on github issues. Discussion is new. Worn't be the normative part ... non-normative appendix is favored so far.
    • MD - Idea/suggestion for new documents through Github over wiki comment management... MD outlined one path that closely matches the current workflow using GitHub using issues; TJ & JF had comment that organized things differently that focused on branches and merges; PD said that MD approach kept things close to current thread and woudn't make these more complicated; GM outlined the ADQL thread in Github that he's using with tags that make it easy to see the differences with the original doc. Still an open topic for more conversation.
