Minutes

James provided an update on the re-categorization project which so far has resulted in our Marspedia:New_Category_Hierarchy, the creation of this set of categories on the wiki by James, and the beginning of re-tagging each existing article with the new category set. James is around 1/3 done with the re-tagging and plans to be done in the next 1-2 weeks. It is a manual process for each article and he's working on some other technical debt & cleanup during this exercise.

Josh has been working on the Category picker and the first version is in the refreshed Development Environment ([dev.marspedia.org]) with some bugs.

We created a Needed Articles Spreadsheet to assist with the revision of the Needed Articles page.

Action Items for Next Week

Josh - Continue working on Category Picker
James - Continue with re-tagging work so that all articles on the wiki have the correct (new) categories.
All - Work on Needed Articles Spreadsheet
