      Any documentation you have in any format regarding 2.0 that you'd like to contribute to the official 
      documentation can be sent to the documentation discussion list at open-ils-documentation@list.georgialibraries.org.
      If you don't subscribe to the mailing list and you want to make sure your contribution arrived intact 
      you can check with the DIG facilitators at docs@evergreen-ils.org. Thanks for your help!
    2. Robert Soulliere to put together an outline page for 2.0 on wiki. - Karen Collier:

  2. Communications committee - Lori Bowen Ayre
    As reported earlier the committee is absorbing suggestions and will come back with revisions after holidays.
  3. Website Team report and discussion
    Dan Scott & Jason Etheridge have made some updates to the website,
    enhanced menu and improved searching of current websites. Anoop and Amy and others are looking at current site
    and making suggestions. Jason has added a link to the 2011 conference website from the home page.
    Conference website will also be linked using the URL conference.evergreen-ils.org
  4. Conference committee - Amy Terlaga
    Planning for the 2011 Evergreen International Conference 27-30 April 2011
    in Decatur, Georgia is under way, Chris Sharp has a timeline.
    Call for program proposals will go out 12/6 and hotel reservations are now open.
    Website has been launched and the conference planning survey results are available
     - http://pines.georgialibraries.org/evergreen2011/node/10
  5. Documentation Interest Group report - Karen Collier
    The Documentation Interest Group (DIG) is still calling the documentation for 1.6
    "draft documentation" at this point but most chapters have been completed and the PDF version is 518 pages long
    including glossary and index.  The book is available in HTML and PDF formats at http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/.
    
    We would love to get some feedback from the community on how we've done so far and what we could improve.
    General comments can be addressed to the documentation discussion list at
    open-ils-documentation@list.georgialibraries.org, and bug reports can be submitted via Launchpad.
    Links to Launchpad have been added throughout the documentation for this purpose.
    
    We expect DIG will be voting soon on whether to bump up the status of this documentation from 
    "draft" to "current" so if you have an opinion on this, feel free to speak up on the documentation discussion list.
    
    As already mentioned, please please please send any documentation in any format regarding 2.0
    to the documentation discussion list.  Some chapters from 1.6 may be updated and reused, 
    but there are so many new features in 2.0 that a lot of original documentation will be needed.
    We'd love to get access to any documentation you've already created and would be willing to contribute.
    
    Outlines showing the completed topics as well as those we're still working on for both 1.6 and 2.0
    can be accessed from links on DIG's main Wiki page at
    http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:dig
    
    But DIG can use help with particularly anything relating to new features in 2.0.
    
    There have not been any inquiries on the DIG list yet either of people looking to do
    translations or people asking for translations.
    • ACTION ITEM: Create a list of specific areas where the DIG needs help in fleshing out information. [ Karen Collier ]
