Here's my part:<div><br></div><div>One of the areas of development the Web Team recognizes is the need to gather info about about Evergreen enhancement ideas and desires into one place so that the community can bounce ideas around and help percolate the most popular ideas to the top and partnerships could be formed to bring those ideas to fruition. The concept is not to replace any of the functionality of Launchpad but to act as more of a feeder into Launchpad. Once the ideas are "percolated," someone would get it into Launchpad.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Toward that end, Web Team members have been talking with Ben Hyman and Kevin Reed of Sitka about their use of IdeaTorrent. Ben and Kevin set up an instance of IdeaTorrent for the EG community to play around with. See <a href="https://eg-ideas.sitka.bclibraries.ca/">https://eg-ideas.sitka.bclibraries.ca/</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The Web Team will be playing around with it and then meeting with Kevin and Ben on September 25th at 1pm EST/10am PST to discuss our experiences. If anyone else would like to try it out or attend the 9/25 call, please let us know (Ben, Kevin, Amy, June, Kathy, Jenny, John Boggs, Lori, Anoop, or anyone else I've missed who's on the Web Team).</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Sounds good. June, maybe you should take the lead on the Anoop work. I think it is important to make sure they understand where that To Do list came from so people understand it arose from the work we've done this past year.<u></u><u></u></p>
<div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I can report on the IdeaTorrent thing if you like.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">
And Amy, could you report on the June email and what that means for next steps. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">FYI, I've been talking with Jim about how to proceed with setting up Communication guidelines and he's going to put up some "communication scenarios" based on our user roles so we can figure out what kind of info we need to provide about protocols that already exist and where there is an absence of protocols. Once we identify those, we can work through them as a committee (Communications Committee) and get those up on the web somewhere (for comment perhaps first).<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">We also need to move forward on recommendations for any policies that belong on the site anywhere. I'm also working on that with Jim so should have something to talk about with the group soon-ish. Again, Comms Committee stuff.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I'm also wondering if it would be useful to write up a report about what we've done this past year and where we are. It would be useful for grant purposes and I think it might be useful to have a comprehensive doc that people could grab and read. <u></u><u></u></p>
