Hi Folks, I added some additional website items.

I can be online from 9am PT to 11am PT on Saturday, August 10th to help on
the Sprint day. And, of course, via email until then to prepare.

1. Content Sprint:
The website content is somewhat dated. We are a global and multilingual
community. By editing the site for digital skimming, we can also be better
positioned for fundraising and future plans.

Some editing and content items to github.
https://github.com/hotosm/hotosm/issues/17

(Suggestions. Happy to have discussions)

Coordinate with Heather (need another volunteer lead on this please)
Skills: writing, graphic design

2. Newsletter and Email sign up
https://github.com/hotosm/hotosm/issues/10

We have talked about having a monthly or quarterly newsletter. This is not
firm yet, but a signup process (architected) will help us with the
communications strategy to get more people learning about HOT (especially
those who are not on the mailing list and just want the headline news)

Coordinator - ?
Skills - writing, wordpress plugins, email marketing knowledge

questions:
a. where should the newsletter sign up be on the site?
b. which email tool should we use?


3. Add a donate button the website. At our last Board meeting, we got final
confirmation that we can finally legally do this. (All campaigns will be
later this year. We just want to have the button).

Coordinate with Kate and Mikel on this one.
