Notes

Present:

• Charlotte W.

• Damien I.

• Greg W.

• Joel O.

• Kate H.

• Luke J.

• Sara M.

• Issue #319 (aligning exercises and narratives): resolved enough; closed.

• Issue #323 (rewriting headers) resolved; closed.

• Issue #328 (figures):

  • "Does anyone really geek out on making diagrams?" much head-shaking.
  • "Should the person doing the chapter do the rough?"
    • Greg W.: include rough screenshots and photos of hand-drawn diagrams.
    • Use git blame to find the person who asked for the figure.

• Kate H.: should we have a checklist (yet) for chapter-complete?

  • Not yet.

• Kate H.: should we include concept maps in each chapter?

  • No one is strongly in favor of diagrammatic, so do point-form.

• Persistent LaTeX error :-/
