10 mins	updates	Online Forum - Great job! Updates from @Blake Carver and @Mark Cooper Mark is working on a Jekkyl instance. The Jekkyl code will need to be merged into the master tech-docs branch Github issues: https://github.com/archivesspace/tech-docs/issues https://github.com/archivesspace/tech-docs/issues/107 Mark will let them know to check tech-docs to make sure the info isn’t already there API Docs working group has not met in a while, and this remains undone: Documenting API endpoints that don’t require authentication. Might be an issue for API docs working group. Trevor will bring this up with API docs working group
15 mins	API Docs Working Group	Questions: Who will serve as administrative lead next year? What will happen after@Dave Mayo (Unlicensed) leaves TAC after next year? Can Tech Docs sub-team assume administrative/organizational responsibility for the ongoing API Documentation work? Can Core Committers add missing endpoint documentation whenever controllers are updated? Answer, maybe: Maybe ASpace devs can take on the bulk of the API documentation work and integrate it into other development - i.e. make endpoint documentation part of their workflow
15 mins	Tech Docs sub-team leadership for next term	We need a new Chair and Vice Chair, each of whom should ideally be selected from the current TAC members on the team
15 mins	Any other business
