Progress reports

 * On June 13th, a problem with the  code showing up in headings after a "show preview." Pat may have discovered an insight.
 * When we leave a page open in edit mode too long, the wiki editor has, in some cases, turned most of the page into very strange code. It is likely a bug, but let's avoid it by not staying in edit mode more than ___ minutes?
 * Birth topic was updated per last meeting. Will review FIRST in order to complete discussion and begin writing the task.
 * Land, Probate, and Cemeteries are ready for review prior to writing tasks.
