Attendees were PeteB, DottieHoffmann and EileenF

A hearty welcome was expressed to newcomer EileenF and major kudos offered for her rapidly increasing level of involvement. Future possibility of Admin status was expressed.

• Concern expressed to PeteB by members of local Disabilities Group regarding Local Slang items.

The group discussed the complaints over the Local Slang page. It was decided that the variations on the use of the word "Retard" in two variations here-Botard and RITard were really bordering on inappropriate and could be removed.

• Revisiting Wiki Community/Etiquette and the removal of comments discussing public health concerns in restaurants (ie: Mona Lisa Cafe and Arigato Steak House) (DamianKumor and PeteB)

Based on Wiki Community/Etiquette, there is a clear statement that health concerns do not belong on the Wiki. The group agreed there is a careful line to read here. A statement such as "I had a glass that was dirty" would be considered ok, but stating "There are rats here" would not be acceptable and will be removed. Concerns were raised over a recent comment on Lilu Cafe-"Please don't support this restaurant!!! The owner had an affair with my husband. She broke up our home where we were raising a toddler." It has absolutely nothing to do with the operation of the restaurant (very personal matter) and should be removed.

To be clear: statements like the Lilu situation, and other health-related situations will be removed.

• Roc-Wiki Bumper Stickers: EileenF brought up the idea of creating bumper stickers again. Anyone interested?

• Business Spotlight of the Month (update)

PeteB expressed concerns that we need to recruit new businesses for this feature. EileenF said she would talk to Utter Clutter and Far Out Vintage personally.

• Some type of script to automate updating links (update)
  

• RocWiki T-shirts (update)
  

• LocalWiki (update)
  

• Mobile RocWiki (update)

An invitation was extended via PeteB by the owner of Dark Horse Coffee to have RocWiki meetings there. It is wheelchair accessible and spacious. Offer was accepted by all.

Next Meeting will be Sunday December 11th at 1:30pm at Dark Horse Coffee in Village Gate.

Respectfully Submitted by PeteB
