Discussion and Proposal page
A page has been created to list ongoing suggestions and ideas that evolve from these meetings. It is hoped that possible changes and projects will not be forgotten, and will eventually reach a resolution. See Community Discussions and Proposals for the list.

Historical Perspective
The Contributor's meeting was spurred by discussions from the Contributor's Corner Forum, including:


 * Define the roles of moderators and adopters and the impact upon other contributors
 * Discuss content isssues, such as the manual of style, creating informative links, and more.
 * Share best practices, ideas, and suggestions
 * Move from talk to decision and implementation

The Technical Meeting previously handled many of these issues. It has recently evolved into technical issues that may not interest all contributors.
