==Meeting summary==
===Discussion===

* Note that the [https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?product=webplatform.org&component=content&resolution=---&list_id=2513 content bugs] are assigned to either Chris or Garbee. We wonder how do we spread these out to others? Maybe a larger issue than with just the content bugs?
* Discussed top-level pages sent out by Chris. We generally thought Chris's [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2012Dec/0172.html proposed pages] were excellent. Eliot volunteered to do an edit pass on the descriptions.
* We discussed the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2012Dec/0235.html navigation proposals] (and [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2012Dec/0221.html Proposal for updating links on webplatform.org proposal for updating links]) that have been in the email list. We discussed the pros and cons of providing the reader with a choice of content type or topic area, via hover links on the global nav. We would appreciate a mock-up. We are not sure how the different proposals would actually pan out. Jswisher took the action to follow up in the email threads and request the next level of detail.
* We identified four priorities we're working on to make editing the site easier and hope to have this work completed by the new year:
** The global nav/landing pages, discussed above, that Chris Mills is working on
** The [https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20160 consolidation of editorial pages] that Garbee is working on
** Updating the Topic Hierarchy and Architecture pages that Julee is working on
** The [https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19390 session bug] that shepazu hopes will be resolved this weekend.
* The Content Task Force will not meet for the next two weeks. We will resume again 1/3/2013.

===Action Items===

* Julee to update Topic Hierarchy and Architecture pages.
* Julee to send out an email discussing how we should "take" and re-assign bugs to even the work out more.
* Eliot to do an editorial pass on the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2012Dec/0172.html proposed top-level pages].
* Jswisher to request the next level of detail on the global nav and how the reader accesses the content types as well as the technology areas.
* LAST WEEK ACTION: Julee to find out how to add a meeting bot to the Content TF Meeting.
** UPDATE: in progress
* LAST WEEK ACTION: Julee to file a bug about the design of reference pages with a non-standard standardization status.
** UPDATE: needs to be revised: Julee to file a UI bug about the design of reference pages with non-stable status, so that they look distinct.
* LAST WEEK ACTION: Garbee to send out his awesome task organization plan
** UPDATE: still working on it

Regards.
