	''(~~Add any items which pass or~~ are ~~blocked to the~~ [[~~Consensus Items History~~]] ~~page~~.)''		* [[User:Flamsmark\|Tom]]: "We add a new plain HTML front page to the Noisebridge domain, to allow for a design more amenable to newcomers. The system for managing this content should have the property that a small number can push changes live, while many folks can produce designs and stage/suggest them."
			** Decision to discuss & postpone consensus decision because [[User:Flamsmark\|Tom]] is not present and, in contrast to last week, most people present are pro-MediaWiki
			** [[User:Malaclyps\|Danny]] has friends over at MediaWiki, so if there are things we need or don't like we should get in touch
			** [[User:SuperQ\|Ben]] has friends who may be able to rewrite MediaWiki in not-PHP
			** Many present agree that their favorite language is not-PHP
			** '''Images for MediaWiki should be SMALLER! ([[User:Kenhaggerty\|Ken]] is dumb) since we pay to host large files!'''
			** [[User:SuperQ\|Ben]]: [[User:Dr_jesus\|Dr. Jesus]] needs to stop pinging Noisebridge; claims 80% (90%?) of all visits to Noisebridge.net are from [[User:Dr_jesus\|Dr. Jesus]] pinging us
			** Proposed alternatives for image hosting:
			*** [http://fuckyeahnoisebridge.tumblr.com fuckyeahnoisebridge] (Tumblr)
			*** [http://www.flickr.com/groups/noisebridge Flickr Noisebridge group]
			* Ken will make a wiki page to coordinate the Wiki redesign
