I've done some page skimming, but clearly more eyes would be better. 20:04 #spi: < Noodles> Not a /huge/ amount I don't think. 20:04 #spi: < Noodles> Stuff about becoming a member/associated project is still missing I think? 20:05 #spi: < bdale> I guess I'd like to set as a goal that we've cut over to the new site with a static copy of the old one still around by the time of the next meeting. 20:05 #spi: < schultmc> I can work on the member/associate project stuff 20:05 #spi: < Noodles> Yeah, that seems reasonable. 20:05 #spi: < Noodles> Also I'd like a page that points to the git repo and invites people to send patches if they have them. 20:05 #spi: < Ganneff> include puppet.git 20:05 #spi: < bdale> makes sense. ok, good. let's keep at it, really feels like we're nearly there! 20:06 #spi: < bdale> [item 6, Outstanding minutes] 20:06 #spi: < bdale> I believe we have last month's ready to vote on today.
