Hi, apologies for not being able to make the meeting. Some feedback and thoughts for input -

Partner Listing/Member Listing
I agree this could be simplified, no roles, maybe run a contributions count, or have some sort of “member since” tag, which would show the term of being a partner with WebInOne. Show country location also.

Meeting Frequency/About Meetings
I agree we could do 6 weeks, but have a driver to why we are meeting - short 15 min presentation about a key topic, then private member section. Keep the meetings to a reasonable time. I find many of the meetings run 1-2 hours.

Get Partners to ask what they want to see for the next meeting. Keep meetings with an agenda and structure.

Complaints, issues - Suggest have a “pain points” | a “new feature” sections of the meeting. Keep the meetings both “secured” and "open’.

We have the opportunity to attract new partners or clients with “open” meetings. Or sections of video as discussed, that are released as public and private.

Resources/Snippets
Agree we need to be aboe to have a simple keyword search, video previews, sections by function/module as per suggestion is good suggestion.

Have a naked template, with some working examples in place. Like a complete blog layout, some custom module samples, menu samples - not just a a simple drop down menu, but more complex menus like Mega Menus, Tab Mega Menus. Find out what frameworks people of using also - Bootstrap, Tailwind, Foundation. Check this example from Squarespace blank templates from Ghost - Paper™ Template Library — Ghost Plugins. Compete templates that make deployment faster with pre-built sections.

Keep snippets for V7

Business Hub - make it part of Treehouse

Job Board - love all the ideas discussed, but also show who those show partners who can take work on or are looking for more work, what they can help with. Jobs could be marked, “whole project”, “part of project” or something to that effect, so quickly at a glance you can see involvement of job. Task are sectioned or displayed by “Looking for work…” tag or filter or section or “Need help with job…”.

Looking forward to hearing more about next steps.

Thanks @Megan for the great feedback, and I like all the points raised.
In particular:

  • Keeping meetings to a reasonable length of time: this will allow attendees to better plan their time and know the commitment level. Long meetings could well be putting people off.
  • “Naked template”: this was always the idea with the Docs Demo Site (Docs Demo Site for Treepl CMS), but it needs works. I have ideas to make this better, but it’s a big project with lots of nuances.

Changes to the meeting structure, Code snippets and Job Board will likely be the first items to tackle.
