(Moderators note: this was split from Documentation Working Group Agenda in order to keep that topic a bit cleaner. It’s preserved here in case it’s useful)
Two questions -
1 - is this the right place to post meeting agendas?
2 - Should we create a new topic for every meeting, or make this a wiki and update it before each meeting?
The benefit of a wiki is that anyone can add to the agenda.
In general I think “yes”, this is the right place. The alternative would be in Workflows & Logs I guess, but that feels a bit hidden.
We have some options in terms of workflow:
We can have a topic-level calendar showing when the next meeting it. I’ve added one to test . I believe it can handle recurrance but I haven’t tried it yet.
We can use wiki posts for agendas, I think that makes sense
Either keeping the top post up to date for the next meeting, or posting a new agenda, either works I think.
We could delete replies on the topic after a meeting, but that feels quite harsh
We could split replies to a new topic (useful if a significant discussion develops on a topic)
@gwmngilfen - I now see a big-ol calendar at the top of the project discussions category. Is this because of adding the calendar to this topic? I don’t actually see any events in the calendar tho so… maybe it’s unrelated?
You have rights, but things have to be posted in Events to get on the Events calendar. I think regular meetings belong here rather than on the conference/meetup calendar, but perhaps @cybette has opinions there? My gut feeling is that we could have quite a lot of these which would clutter the Events calendar - using perhaps a meeting tag would be enough discoverability for those wanting to dig deeper?
Right, that’s the config option that is enabled for Events, and I switched it on here while trying to set this topic up. I’ve removed it (as I said above, I’m not sure we want that here), and the in-topic calendar here is still present
The in-topic event usage here goes like this:
Use [calendar][/calendar] in the first post to enable the calendar
Use [date-range] in later posts to add an event to the calendar in post 1
You can use use the date-builder to help:
which also has an Advanced Mode for things like recurrance:
. I believe it can handle recurrance but I haven’t tried it yet.
