        • beginners
        • intros and help
        • Newbies! ;-)
      • Data imports [and migration]
    • question: when / how to redirect people to wbs if they're asking questions in the shared channel
      • success depends on
        • experts (or people who know enough to direct) being present in these sub groups/topics to help direct traffic
        • clear labels
        • we can direct people to channels in release annoucements, in telegram list on meta, in heads of each wd, wb, wbc, and wbs channels
    • question: which of these topics are actually shared across the ecosystem?
      • ex where would sparql topics fit?
      • see notes along the topic list for more thoughts on this topic
      • guiding question: if a topic is self-hosting specific, then send to suite channel
        • consider that experiences at some point become rather product specific even if general topic is shared at a high level
  • [Your topics here]
  • Next time:
    • feedback on docs
    • new contact election for wbcug
      • meant to have two primary contacts
      • Laurence is flagging that it's about time for this
