Updates and follow up

 * Thoughts on the Suffolk Gazeteers page
 * Update on discussion from last week regarding better information on projects in the Wiki - Lynda is creating a spreadsheet of all projects she can find with leaders, status, etc. Jane will create a page to hold everything after checking to see what is already created.  The current Projects page lacks project leader information and status.

 * Also, we are looking at a way to archive completed projects or make it more apparent that they are completed when people are searching for projects.
