Hi everyone,

For some time the board has tracked ongoing issues as a big, ever-evolving
section in the minutes. This has some advantages [1], but it's fairly
labour intensive for the secretary and isn't the most sophisticated issue
tracking system! This is why the board has decided to try using GitLab to
track ongoing issues [2] instead.

Most issues will be public, but a proportion will be private for
confidentiality and legal reasons.

The main difference you will notice as a result of this change is that
minutes will be much shorter and will only cover what was said in each
meeting. The board will endeavour to ensure that the minutes reflect what's
happened each week, by including updates for significant developments as a
part of each meeting.

This is an experiment, so do let us know what you think as time goes on.

Best wishes,

Allan
