Talk of doing support. Creating email templates. How to strengthen member to member support.
Lots of material but a lot of it is disorganized or hard to find.
Changes to features prioritization and testing -- these are related but distinct activities. Current group mostly focused on testing so far. FP needs prioritization too. Idea is create 2 groups. Early 2016.
Weekly / monthly top bug reports -- send these out to community (mailing list?).
Future hackathons? May depend on opportunities for funding as current hackathon supported by Mellon.
