One thing that would be nice:
To me the bibliography is most important as a near-term goal given you already have a workable PR open 😄, I'd love to see #14 merged
Adding a static site to this repo to make things a little more presentable for others is a great idea IMHO but that'll take a second. If anyone can find time this is a perfect candidate for using existing theme from a favourite static site generator like hugo/jeckyll and add some light DT branding, PR it in and voila!
From there I'd personally commit to putting time into editing the notes & pulling from recordings to synthesize a meeting into content that would more succinctly benefit others. We could use a PR to see if others like the way that shapes up.

I guess I’ll advocate the other side of this one a little bit ;)
Is having a proper website rather than a well-groomed readme and repo (which we certainly should keep on top of) really going to add a lot here? Do we need to market this reading group or just provide good access to understandable materials/kits/etc? What are the really valuable things we can do with full HTML, JavaScript, or dynamic forms that add a lot to this resource? GitHub’s markdown rendering can get us pretty far with way less effort (let’s not underestimate how much extra effort someone can pour into a nice web site once they’ve gotten started). Intentionally avoiding making web pages is one of the clever things about “awesome-*” repos, for example.
👍 agree w/ @b5 on the bibs. They are not a thing I’ve ever used much, though (probably to my detriment!), so not sure I have much valuable to say on tools like Zotero.

I think this would be great. We should PR just the first meeting to work out a good format, then more people can do the rest in parallel.
Does it become more a 'live' coordinating place and we refactor for an ongoing reading group? (i.e., gathering themes, searching out and adding potential readings?
I really like this idea. (Actually, I had naïvely assumed this was the plan all along.)
I should have been more careful with words, by into more of a static site with links into the call notes/calls
I didn't mean explicitly/only rolling a website, more like how the readme was structured and the presentation of the first cycle of calls/notes
+1 to synthesizing notes and recordings into condensed content
+1 live coordinating site. Seems like we're continuing the reading group in some form and this repo has already served well in coordinating
+1 giving the repo a little formatting love
I've never used bibtex files, so I feel I would be really bad at keeping that updated, but not opposed to others maintaining that
Okay, I think this convo and the retrospective helped answer questions around this, in #38 I'm doing a big 2018 clean up which should help set the stage for coordinating 2019.
I'll ping you all for reviews there 😂
Is there more we'd like to work on from this issue as we launch into the 2019 semester?
It seems like we've moved out actionable items from here. I think probably good to close
Are there ways we want to change this repository once the reading group concludes?
