Please provide feedback on the draft design via email, by Monday July 30th.

- Lost generic Wikipedia appearance

Visitors end up at Calendar most often, however not utilized.
- Keep calendar or redirect traffic and delete?
Asian Canadian Wikipedia lists
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_people_of_Asian_descent. David noted that it is possible to import this information into the AC wiki, which may add approx. 700 additional names. He noted the desirability of embracing overlap with Wikipedia. David will produce an Excel doc. Elena will skim these names; add the information; art and location; info box; add into the map; column for if it is already in the wiki. If this action is done, it will likely put the number of entries closer to 1000. David mentioned it is feasibile to produce the Excel by mid-August, with Elena working on it to end of August.
Citations
David: equal sign in the front template http://asiancanadianwiki.org/wiki/Ginger_Post. David will determine the cause and repair.

Soft launch
E-mail soft launch on August 27th.
Bliki

Google Analytics
Set up google analytics plan on google with Janet - Elena
Infobox
Create an infobox template similar to Wikipedia articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worf - Comments?
Categories
To increase intra-site traffic (I just made up that term). Do we need lists which are more detailed, like wikipedia. For example: at the very bottom of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worf, there are categories: Klingons, Fictional characters introduced in 1987. These categories lead to other wikipedia articles. Should we have detailed categories?
Next meeting: Monday July 30th 7:00pm EST on skype.
