My personal takeaways

Design System figma link

Project prototype: (at the top left you can navigate to the other pages of the project to view Layout, UI Elements, and Iconography so far)

@ogonzal87 is interested in feedback on the overall layout of the site and content, see the prototype linked above. The hierarchy of the information, should it change? Should things be moved around? Basically checkout the Information Architecture, any feedback on where things should go to better serve users. Google analytics suggests users come to the existing site for primarily Docs, and downloading the latest version of Node.js
Next steps are to gather feedback on the structure. Design comments are welcome, but not as urgent as feedback on placement and overall flow of elements on the prototype.

We are going to merge the two repos (WR into nodejs.dev), @amiller-gh has created a PR to merge the two. Merge will happen and issues moved over, pending any feedback, likely by June 24th 2019.

The skeleton of the site's pages isn't complete at this point. Maybe creating skeletons (placeholders essentially) for the various pages could help folks jump in and add features?

@amiller-gh will continue fleshing out the issues in the Project Boards, and work on more infrastructure related issues. Hopefully find some time for dev work on the issues as well.

@amiller-gh Hey I noticed the link in the youtube video description from this meeting points to a meeting issue for the bootstrap team?

Is that link supposed to point here?

I've unarchived this repo so I can close all PRs and issues before re-archiving.
