Meeting Notes - Aug 23

General updates/decsions

We should create templates with pre-recommended categories for various types of documents (syllabi, etc.)
We should add a sidebar called 'templates'
Let's standardize certain categories/styles regarding English 10
- Within course category we will make more specific subcategories that allow people the option of narrower subarticles (i.e. "English 10 Assignments" in addtion to "English 10)
See under Marthine's updates of style for links
We will decide color of "About" template after image is done - however, we checked the wording and clarified it
