!Old Business:

!!Sticky Login

^__Motion__ Whereas -it is annoying to have to traverse from the home page back to where i was when i decided to login, we should change the site config and layout such that:
a) login box is in the top bar (like two)
b) logging in does not return the editor to the homepage.^

DT: I see as low priority, but if you can get someone to do the work.....
MLP: I will do it or have it done if it is approved. 




!!Renovate home page

DT:  Home page was just cleaned up by ricks99.  Please post a specific proposal to the dev list.
MLP: Decisions by email? (shudder).  Wiki developers, eat thine own dogfood?
MLP: ((next home page))  - the prototype.

!!Upgrade to tikiwiki 1.10?

^Whereas: 1.10 allows - edit by section, redirect, advances in admin and groups, freetagging, etc.
__Motion:__ The EB recommends moving on to 1.10^

DT:  Marc hosts the site, IMO, it's up to him when the upgrade gets done.  
MLP: Ok I will ask marc.


!!Theme project.

^__Motion:__ Mike will be tasked to work with Marc and (Gary?) to work on a new theme for doct.two - on a test site first. ^

DT:  There are several themes available on themes.tw.o?  Can't we just make them selectable?  
MLP: Selectable is ok. Maybe just a change to top_bar (see above). Perhaps having a demo on a test site would be a good thing to do before putting ths to a motion?

__Tabled:__ So as to put the theme before the motion.

!!Redo modules and menus.

DT:  Modules and menus were just re-organized by ricks99.  Please post a specific proposal to the dev list. 
MLP: see above. :)


!!Articles expire

^__Motion__: Set all articles to expire after 30 days.^ 

no more than the last three on the main page.

DT:  Or expire after 30 days?   
MLP: So amended. 


!New Business
