Lila Darkmatter: what are you editing?
stevenaia Michinaga: the last working group meeting suggested changes to the notecard to address a few items like unhosted sessions since we now have a few openings, and that they may be recorded non the less, if a guardian (not a host) is present
stevenaia Michinaga: etc.
stevenaia Michinaga: now that the unhosted sessions have been identified on Bleu's Big Board
