[4:14pm] mildbeard: Do we plan to put a link on the main page at some point, pointing to the instance? [4:15pm] jokeefe: it is there [4:16pm] mildbeard: Ah, so it is. I meant accessible from the top navigation menu. [4:16pm] mildbeard: Once we've finished testing. [4:17pm] jokeefe: yes [4:17pm] mildbeard: Also - I created a proposed policy where we'd allow other states and US party to have their own units on the server.

[4:17pm] jokeefe: though probably under a members section [4:17pm] jokeefe: sure, though I am reluctant to have to maintain it [4:18pm] mildbeard: yeah - I'd be willing to help with that. [4:18pm] mildbeard: Anyway I created a proposal on the server itself about it. [4:19pm] jokeefe: i think if we have a how to up, then they should go create their own instances, myself [4:20pm] rcassidy: heya mildbeard, jokeefe [4:20pm] mildbeard: hi rcassidy [4:21pm] jokeefe: hi rcassidy [4:21pm] rcassidy: sorry to interrupt agenda - carry on - missed that it had started [4:21pm] jokeefe: we forgot ids [4:21pm] jokeefe: James O'Keefe, Somerville [4:21pm] mildbeard: Erik Zoltan, Framingham [4:21pm] rcassidy: Ryan Cassidy, Jamaica Plain [4:21pm] SplendidSpoon: Lauren Pespisa, Boxboro/Cambridge
