i just added the ripple report for december (its the same as november).

We were to late in november. however the report template generator didn't
include us in generation.

OK, I see what happened. Ripple received reminders on ripple-dev on November 22 and November 28 insisting that Ripple needed to file a December2013 report. This happened because at the time, Ripple still had the "monthly" tag in
podlings.xml.

Part of the Chair's workflow is to remove expired "monthly" attributes from podlings.xml. I didn't get to that until shortly after the November 28
reminders were sent out.

In all of the documentation and tools, i have been trying to
encourage the podlings to look after their own metadata.
Sure, we do seem to need a backstop, but please can we continue
to encourage them to look after their own stuff.

Well it happens that a mentor (in this case me) did mess up something too. I take it on my own back that i have not educated Ripple to deal with podling.xmls
or not worked with the data myself.

Anyway, thanks Marvin for helping me identify the issue.

Cheers

Probably the best way to prevent this from happening in the future is to move this Chair task (along with a few others like creating the wiki template) to just after filing the last report. I can do that by rejiggering the blocks in
report_runbook.py.
