I understand the concern however I feel a balance has to be struck. We are
aiming to provide a "SotM cookbook" but this is stalled since September due
to lack of resource.

Having ran 2013 in the open and published 2015 meeting minutes, my view is
that you gain valuable support by good project management, breaking work
down in to small chunks and providing short summaries of tasks. People are
generally too busy to read reams and reams of meeting notes.  I expect you
often come across this in your day job ("why am I being asked this/why has
someone done that - clearly they didn't read the notes"!!).

I don't get project management right all the time but I'm trying to
improve. Hopefully the plans for 2017 demonstrate an improvement.

If there is a specific thing that you are missing then we could try to
prioritise that. Just ask :-)
