Meeting Notes

• TWikiMarketingMeeting2008x06x30.log: IRC transcript

Blogging

• Get more content into Blog feed? technorati mostly reads the rss feed only. Is formatted text valid RSS? ==> Yes, it is.
• Another thing to increase blog processing by technorati and similar is to add a rel="tag" to the category links

Meetups

• We had a nice meetup in zurich last week; about 25 people
• 5 people presented how they use twiki at work
• Let's try to get meetups going in many places; this helps spread the word of TWiki

Discussion

I am in the Swiss Alps now, with access to browser, but without access to personal e-mail. Could someone please send out a reminder for this meeting to twiki-dev?
