Approach 4: Something new
Issues for discussion:
Discussion summary Feb 16
1. Mentor training appears to be the best approach since a lot of people's time will be sucked up by the PNW Drupal Summit preparation for October 20-21 on UW campus.
2. By show of hands, 9 people said they would be willing to mentor a one day class. Josh Kopel will be helping Chris Shattuck give a mentoring session at the Denver Drupalcon on March 20-22. Josh will report back and we should have some recommendations for the April 19 SeaDUG meeting. Josh said he would be willing to emcee the mentoring class.
3. Training topics pending April 19 SeaDUG meeting.
4. Planning platform pending April 19 SeaDUG meeting.
Module feedback
I'd still love to demo, and get feedback on, the nodequeue add-on module I recently wrote.
