Time	Item	Who	Notes
10 min	Introductions	James	John - interested in documentation
10 min	Communication - why are we here?	Inzemam	How does the world perceive us? Landing page redesign Wiki
	Details on Documentations	John G	made some recommendations on documentation analysis of what is there

The landing page is for the outside audiences
Wiki pages is how the org stays organized, public but almost an "internal to the project"
The Technical documentation - Post dev, what is the platform as it exists today (including tech documentation)
What is our initial focus? Let's work on the Landing page and key messages
- See https://spark.apache.org/. No mention of open source, aimed at technical people , one of the best projects
- See https://hadoop.apache.org/. Mention of open source up front, simple landing page
- See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HIVE. for example of a much simpler wiki structure
Inzemam:
- Landing page should have some graphical information / communication to the audience
- News section / blog
messages feedback / imagery
- John - key messages , core banking , simple iconography
- Juste - make it simple to understand. Core banking, simplicity, when people see it, we want them to understand it.
- Abhinav - anything related to finance: secure (number one thing)
- James - look at Hadoop, nothing graphically intense, can be very simple, just a landing page for people following links from other providers
