<div dir="ltr">Kirk,<div><br></div><div>I wholly support the ability to move the Forum to a mode where load is not disproportionately placed on a few members' time, but it does seem to me that it's not as simple as you propose.</div><div><br></div><div>For example, in past activities of the Forum, it involved</div><div>1) Having a copy of the correct version of Microsoft Office as what the 'true' document used</div><div>2) Having a copy of Adobe Acrobat (and not some "print to PDF product") to appropriate generate</div><div><br></div><div>However, the Forum has previously accepted that "the GitHub versions are the masters", vis-a-vis <a href="https://github.com/cabforum/documents/tree/master/docs">https://github.com/cabforum/documents/tree/master/docs</a></div><div><br></div><div>While this easily allows submitting "Pull Requests" to the Bylaws, and it thankfully has an automated script to produce the PDF version, that doesn't include the ability to seamlessly edit the website. Plus, we should strive to ensure that the updates to the Website truly reflect what's in the documents and intent.</div><div><br></div><div>Since it sounds like you're wholly on board with democraticizing the maintenance, a view I and others have supported, perhaps some members might be interested in a 'hackathon' on the Monday prior to our next F2F. We could use such a hackathon among the more technically minded members to improve the tooling and automation so that any changes to the documents will necessarily result in a PDF being produced that's ready. We could also work through to arrange documentation for best practices, so that perhaps there may be an opportunity that during the F2F, we can report back with simple guidance and training on that process.</div><div><br></div><div>I would be curious if that's something that some members might be interested in - again, on the Monday, March 20. If we can get some rough interest, we can then go about securing a venue for that activity.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 9, 2017 at 4:15 PM, Kirk Hall via Public <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:public@cabforum.org" target="_blank">public@cabforum.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
