Hum - I see the Trello board is for bite- to meal- size practical
issues, but not for the general process of how to engage the community
in guiding the the project - is that fair?

I was thinking about the engage community part, because it seems to me
it would be good to spend time on that first, and if it was me, I
think I'd go for more regular public meetings / discussions at this
stage rather than less.

I'm thinking now of Jarrod's / Brian's story about "more typing", I'm
sure you know the one I mean :)

Cheers,

Matthew
