  - Report on decision to use Bootstrap for UI -- Russ
	Going to migrate custom interfaces to Bootstrap UI
	Will be working with IOLA to implement
	renders on multiple devices with a good library of support
	Deployment in spring of 2015

  - Expected Datatracker Releases -- Robert and Henrik
	Henrik released a big one yesterday
	Another release to Django 1.7
	Another with several schema changes all to be done before Code Sprint
	Rest will be after Hawaii

  - Automated Javascript testing -- Robert
	May not want to track this at every meeting, perhaps only on major moves

  - Test Coverage -- Henrik
	More to do here; when we can get to it; time is booked up to Honolulu
	So, after that.
	After Honolulu

  - IPR Tool improvements -- Robert
	At point where we need external testers; close to turn people lose by week’s end
	Ryan - should be able to wrap up Friday

  - Liaison Tool improvements -- Robert
	On hold waiting for IPR tool to finish

2. Community & Other Projects
  - Present a directory view of active, archived, and unknown I-Ds	-- Robert
	Documentation still needs to be done
	Waiting on cycles 
	Trying to expose archive under rsync and FTP - turning out to be painful
	Behind other things
	Maybe in or after Honolulu

  - Setup directorate wikis to ietf.org -- Henrik and AMS
	Directorate Wikis
	Decide where the master config and templates which are filled in when 
	creating a wiki lives on disk …  /a/www/www6s/trac/.template/

	Decide where the individual instantiated wikis live on disk and as URLs
	…  /a/www/www6s/trac/<acronym>/	?
	… www.ietf.org/trac/<acronym>/wiki/	?

	Henrik - trac.ietf.org with pointers

	Set up apache to serve any instance among the instantiated wikis
	Matt Decide on reasonable default values for the Trac config settings
	Copy from tools, review by Matt

	Decide on how to trigger creation of a wiki (now and in the future): How tight should 
	the integration with the datatracker be?  Should we try to set things up so that the wiki 
	acronym always is the same as the datatracker acronym?
	yes, but not automatically triggered from the datatracker yet

	Write a script to copy and instantiate files from the master and template directories.
	Python script using the Django framework for template handling and pulling group data 
	from the datatracker

	Maybe, Yes, by Honolulu

	Framework draft would like input on, esp section 10
	Robert - Tony has put in a lot effort in the v2 to v3 converter; pretty much done
