  * Do we need a steering committee?
      * Karsten raised this question, pointing at the success of Fedora
        Infrastructure, and to ongoing complaints of "too much
        bureaucracy"; is FDSCo getting in the way of getting things
        done?
      * OTOH, a project like Docs needs identifiable and accountable
        leaders, especially to help newer contributors join Fedora.
      * Open discussion topic; can reconsider value of FDSCo as we
        proceed
  * FDSCo Election
      * Missed original schedule by 11 days
      * Bob taking the task of reworking the schedule and sending out
        the new content; roughly two week bump in schedule expected
  * Various Guides
      * More work on list, keep people involved
      * Karsten to send a reminder that help is here, don't hesitate to
        ask
  * Release Notes Beats
      * Bob working to flush the beats
      * Need to make sure documentation on *how* to convert Wiki2XML is
        available for all
              * Make sure we aren't abusing Paul
  * Virtual FUDCon
      * Discussion on list about what to do
