[Evergreen-web-team] Posting web team meeting minutes on new site

[Jim Craner]

Here's my initial proposed implementation based on Lori's suggestion 
that's pretty flexible and -- I think, anyway -- will be easy to use:

Example meeting - 
http://evergreen.galecia.com/events/2013-01-02-180000-2013-01-02-190000/example-meeting

1) Note the new "References" field, referencing a fake agenda which is a 
separate page (an "Article," to be precise).  If you're logged in, you 
can "Edit" that Event and add new References.  References are just 
easy-to-add links to existing articles, blog posts, other events, etc.

2) Not thrilled with the URL of that sample event but there are some 
issues with auto-URL generation right now.

3) For a typical meeting agenda, you could also just put the minutes and 
the subsequent notes right in the Body field for the specific event.

4) This "References" feature could be used on any other type of page to 
let authors easily refer to existing pages in a way that's more 
structured than just linking to an existing page.

Thoughts or questions?

Thanks!
Jim
