ok - i thought we were trying to arrange an evening meeting in london anyway.<br><br>perhaps we could have a web editorial meeting on tuesday - or we could hold out for the full-day web extravaganza, i don't mind either way<br>

I have a little bit of an issue with this depending on what is discussed<br>
- it seems the "editing crew" are mainly in London (Jonathan, Ellen,<br>
Alistair), but others of us are further away (Sara, me, Neil). I guess<br>
it depends what the purpose of that meeting would be and how much<br>
decision making power it would have, but if you guys came up with some<br>
changes which were then sent to the list for comments first I think it<br>
should be okay.<br>
<br>
I do think we will need a full day meeting at some point to:<br>
<br>
* Put together the design brief<br>
* Think about information architecture (do interactive stuff like card<br>
sorting, diagrams on whiteboards, etc)<br>
* Work out a mandate for the blog<br>
* Etc...<br>
<br>
I think maybe we should try to set a date for this over the list so that<br>
people's diaries don't get booked up. We realised in Hebden this wasn't<br>
realistically going to happen before the Cambridge gathering, but soon<br>
after would be great. We also said that it would be in London.<br>
<br>
I have set up a "doodle" here - please say when you can make it and we<br>
can work out a venue:<br>
<br>

<br>
Also, I can report that I have chatted to Torchbox<br>
(<a href="http://www.torchbox.com/" target="_blank">http://www.torchbox.com/</a>) and they will probably be able to do a design<br>
for us. They will discuss it next Wednesday and confirm after that.<br>
