Between Meetings
I've done a website review, to help me understand the existing re-cycle.org site. It's here...
I've also tried to create a mini brief/summary for the social platform.
I've setup a replica of the site - sans files and images

For next meeting:
Discuss and review my review.

A few questions for next meeting:
*How does the social platform tie in with the main re-cycle site?

A MERLIN - idea is sub site, less branding, so all willing to chip in

*I'm unclear of all the roles (can we define them)

A MERLIN -have just set a few up, random ish, and to help me, eg, just newsletters, as start of database

*How do you add a page to the menu?

A MERLIN -when edit page, there's a menu drop down, pls use this as if set up using menu page, they don't link together, then if set up get duplicates.....

*Why is the title not in a h1?

A MERLIN -should be :)

*Do you not use drupal break i.e. make teasers?

A MERLIN -would make sense

*Has img_assist ever worked for you?

A MERLIN -not tried

*How about language and translation?

A MERLIN -good idea

*Ask about the existing content types

A MERLIN - ?

Questions for Geoff:
*Looks like you have created a theme (on the filesystem) called social platform, are you using this?

A Geoff: No. It was an place where I could try a few things out. None of it was ever published. If it's of no use, I can tidy it up.

*Comment: You've tried adding a block for a menu, which only shows on the social platform pages

A Geoff: Yes, this was to try to get a menu showing in the social platform.

*Profile, How have you adapted this? I've come across some minor irritations

A Geoff: I've added fields and so on. Do you have specific things you wanted to asked about (or that you found minorly irritating ;-) )?

*Africa total map, recycle_counter function, where is this referenced? common.inc looks like wrong code! Yours?

A Geoff: Not mine. Sorry - don't know the answer.
