Email list:

Style guide / Template naming convensions

* Rough concensus to go with Microsoft style guide (at least for the 
moment) for GoodDocsProject.
* Action on Clarence to draft up a CONTRIBUTING.md doc, probably in 
Google Docs, for review. To be discussed at next week's meeting.

SeasonOfDocs

* Felicity is about to start writing Quickstarts for OSGeoLive as part 
of SeasonOfDocs
* Erin doesn't have a Quickstart template available yet to share
* (Becky do you a quickstart template?)
* We do have legacy OSGeoLive Quickstart template material
* Jo suggests making use of QGIS/GeoNetwork Quickstarts which were 
updated for latest OSGeoLive release
* Suggestion we collectively build this template soon. I don't think 
anyone picked up this action

TheGoodDocsProject vs TheGoodDocs

* We have a mismatch between https://thegooddocsproject.dev/ and 
https://github.com/thegooddocsproject/thegooddocs.github.io
* We should align these two, probably in github
* Someone want to pick up this task?
