The wiki is currently in some disarray, preventing some from registering
for XDC. This will be sorted asap.

== Items discussed ==
ITEM: DMCA compliance for safe-harbour
This is something for freedesktop.org in general, less for us. For more info
regarding compliance see:

ACTION: Alan C to pester sitewranglers to get this sorted
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: Wiki license: CC-BY-SA
Request for translation lead to the realization we don't have a license on
the wiki pages. License for future contributions will be CC-BY-SA, for
existing wiki pages the situation is unclear. SFLC will be contacted for
comment.
ACTION: Matt D to contact SFLC, Martin P to add license info to wiki
STATUS: Pending

ITEM: XDC Updates
Wiki needs to be fixed for people to register. More content needed for
the XDC wiki pages.
ACTION: Keith P to add the required bits, get wiki sorted
