Historical Perspective

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.
