* Relevance {nid 1LGJ}
** Mike: Ontolog is doing a great job now ... {nid 1LGK}
** Ken: a mini-series like "Database and Ontology" was great ... that format can help us attract and involve other communities {nid 1LGL}
** Michelle: we're doing a lot of things right ... people are getting a lot out of the work ... OOR work, series works (DB, OKMDS, Measure & Quality, ...) were great ... do something that sounds a bit crazy that might become a reality down the road {nid 1LGM}
** Doug: Ontolog is a very diverse community ... the virtual events have been great ... great presentations, but no discussion on the forum follows {nid 1LGN}
** Peter: yes, very diverse ... almost disjoint activities and community segments {nid 1LGO}
** Kurt: huge energy ... definitely sustainable ... almost difficult to define a focus {nid 1LGP}

* Weakness & Improvements: {nid 1LGQ}
** Doug: things look fine ... will defer on this {nid 1LGR}
** Mike: background program to help people assess {nid 1LGS}

** Michelle: an "Ontolog dashboard"? ... RSS feed {nid 1LGV}
*** Peter: wiki "Recent Changes" are available as an RSS feed {nid 1LGW}
** Kurt: digest {nid 1LGX}
** Ken: student research projects {nid 1LGY}
** we need tools to help navigate the rich body of knowledge ... but we do have smart data already {nid 1LGZ}
*** migration toward purple semantic mediawiki ... the OOR effort will come into play, I'm sure {nid 1LH0}

*** we won't need to do the (originally planned) Thu 2008.09.04 planning and coordination meeting for this series any more, for the time being {nid 1LH9}
