Giuseppe says the Portuguese wiki is currently not working - (on and off), similar to the English wiki. Each (language) wiki works independently.

Giuseppe is from Italy, and his job is supervisor of the wiki missionaries. He works with Caleb Love. He's been with the church 3 yrs. He also works with community involvement.

Diana is working on the Adopters issue behind the scenes. The policy is changing. Individuals will be able to adopt. The current organizations that have adopted pages are being contacted to see if they want to continue, if they are still working, etc. Nothing is currently posted on the wiki regarding this change.

This meeting is held weekly, but once a month dedicated to hearing from moderators

Charles would like to discuss appropriate SEOs [SEO=Search Engine Optimization] (the words that Google search or other search engines "look for") http://www.k9safesearch.com/
