Historical Perspective[edit | edit source]

The Contributor's meeting was spurred by discussions from the Contributor's Corner Forum, including:

Define the roles of moderators and adopters and the impact upon other contributors
Discuss content isssues, such as the manual of style, creating informative links, and more.
Share best practices, ideas, and suggestions
Move from talk to decision and implementation

The Technical Meeting previously handled many of these issues. It has recently evolved into technical issues that may not interest all contributors.
