The meeting lasted almost 3 hours, simultaneously in two separate 
channels (technical and social), with lots of good ideas and 
commitments. One key focus for the Research Network in the coming weeks 
will be to assist Brion in the migration of Wikimedia to a single login 
system, by providing GUI mock-ups and process specifications. We 
discussed many details of that.

I will of course also repeat my constant call for more members:

We are already more than 30 and still scaling well. We are really trying 
to get things done, and we can use anyone with a brain and the 
willingness to do work :-). Take a look at the notes and logs and you 
will see that you don't have to be a developer in order to be able to 
make a difference. Assistance in inviting users and researchers to join 
the WRN is of course also welcome. Spread the word. :-)

Best,

Erik
