The top vote getter has been the templates topic.  After that, it's  
forms.

So if everyone is okay with this plan: I suggest we plan to focus  
primarily on a discussion and demos of template implementations.  If  
time permits, we could then do a session on forms.  (and if not, we  
can postpone that to a subsequent meeting)

Please consider showing your implementations of the new templates at  
this meeting.  I think if we're all brief, we'll have plenty of time  
to see a wide range of projects, which should be very useful as we  
discuss their outcomes and prepare for more implementations next year.
