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.
