16 weeks so far...

306 emails this week of which 196 are labeled OTW - !General and 118 are labeled OTW – Board. My calendar says ~9 hour week.

The Meta thing still looks like this although step 4. is now quite advanced and we probably don't need to do step 5:

1. Decide we're going to do it AKA talk for ages then come to a decision (we did this)
2. Discuss it a lot internally (we have been doing this)
3. Publish the proposed revised Terms of Service (ToS) for people to comment on (public post up for comment) (152 comments)
4. Discuss people's comments and feedback and revise again (after 3.)
5. Depending on people's comments, like, if people all say 'hey, it should be more like this' and everyone seems to agree and we think it looks good too then we might be able to go straight to 6. or we might need to do 2-4 again.
6. Publish the Terms of Service (ToS), make changes to the Abuse and Support policies so they match the Terms of Service.
7. Make a Design for Meta on the AO3 and plan when to make code changes. This will probably take a while, we need to have 1-6 first PLUS we have limited coder resources AND we prioritise improving and fixing performance over new features - even very important ones. *loves on AD&T*

I was not able to be at the board meeting this week so I read the transcript then wrote a lot of emails. The high points this week were approving new staffers we're keen on, a monster discussion about diversity, and a final review of the Annual Report.

The All-Org Meeting is coming up on the 27th and is at 1pm my time (+8 UTC) which is VERY EXCITING but not quite as exciting as Iron Man II planned on Friday night \o/
