*ESAC bylaws are no longer in effect??
*<i class="fas fa-3x fa-comment-alt-exclamation fa-pull-left" style="color:MediumSeaGreen"></i>One that, inside of articles we could optionally add a tag surrounding a link to the resource for which the page was built from, and transform it into a button at the bottom of the edit area. For example, the departmental stats page can be easily reproduced with the google sheet it's based on, and would be added as a button on the DepStats editpage. This would offer another bridge to important files that doesn't require exploring the drives (though it does need to be cleaned up)
*Isabella Bongiovi should have a page too (generally as bookkeeper)
 
*Shoullllldddd Dean Nicell have a page on the wiki?
*<span class="fa-stack fa-lg fa-pull-left"<i class="fas fa-circle fa-stack-2x" style="color:Indigo"></i>  <i class="fas fa-save fa-stack-1x fa-inverse"></i></span>One that would automate all the regular expressions used to turn the text of a pdf policy/bylaw into wikimarkup. This would be Special:PDFtoWiki or some such, that would allow you to upload the pdf, it does it's thing, spits out markup.
*Create a ''Governance Calendar'' that outlines all the dates that '''''must be met''''', cause there's a lot
===Content===
*[[Locker Rentals]], work with Sarlos.

*Ironically, after about an hour of thinking, ruminating, and watching avatar, it's clear there should be brainstorming sessions that are recorded. I've thought unto no end, but this gives me check boxes to remove. The inane listicle that was generated is disorderly (though see point later on that infrastructure means nothing without content) so first, see point directly below.
'''Sooner:'''
*"'''''<span style="color:#df6b6b">HEY YOU. Pick a day, sit down, write a shit ton of articles.'''''</span> You have the resources from archives. We're at a measly ~300 pages, most of which are empty/incomplete, redirects, or not great. You can do this.
* '''Bookkeeper''', Isabella Bongiovi, finance@mcgilleus.ca
::*Clean up that shitty script that strips PDF text into wiki format, needs a revamp. Hey! Maybe investigate the creation of php pages and pilot an extension, make it easier and accessible to others.
* '''Governance Calendar'''
::::*More importantly, find list of keywords of completed pages (e.g. BoG, XXX Policy, and so on). Could be manually done, there's only somewhere around 40 documents. Constitution is a DOOOZY, stay away from it since it'll be restructured over the Summer 2018. '''UPDATE:''' I no longer believe this is the best course of action. Not every instance of a word should be linked, and once governance docs are completed the rest isn't overly tedious
:*''(e.g. when referenda must occur, submission of this that or the other thing, deadlines, as prescribed in the [[Important Documents]]''
:*Consider proposing another way to name motions at council? How do legit councils organize documents? Right now best we have, for example, is <code>New Business item X from Council on April, XX XXXX</code>, which is malleable and unreliable
 
:::*Say it with me, '''ISO-8601'''. A general scheme for listing dates, super important. I guess this goes more into file organization elsewhere, but if we could get EUS to support the date structure YYYY-MM-DD, it'd be way easier to sort things chronologically. Might be fun to make a page praising it
{{col-break}}<!--MedPriority-->
*Get peoples opinion on Gifs in pages like [[Curator's Choice]] and  [[EUSwiki:Privacy_policy]]. I like these because they have no background, no frame, and most importantly '''''aren't memes'''''. No memes, that's a line I draw pretty firmly. I know, what about ''[[Deals, Deals, Deals]]''? I've got a sore spot for Broad City.
'''Later:'''
*Hey, bring back work sessions?
* Room Bookings: photos, capacity, accessibility, etc.
*Clean up all those copyrights and privacy policies and shite.
 
::*There's a note on copyright whenever you edit a page, [[MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning2]]
{{col-break}}<!--LowPriority-->
::*Follow up question; do people ever interact with content at the footer? What would be most useful there? What would you '''''want''''' to be there?
'''Whenever:'''
*Consider the value of having lists of previous exec teams on clubs/committees/etc. I'm not personally a fan, I think they add clutter and tend to serve vanity, but maybe that's me.
*Say it with me, '''ISO-8601'''. A general scheme for listing dates, super important. I guess this goes more into file organization elsewhere, but if we could get EUS to support the date structure YYYY-MM-DD, it'd be way easier to sort things chronologically.
:*'''UPDATE:''' Final decision, no positions in the Infobox unless they're standalone positions (e.g. SSMU Rep, Space Manager, Directors, etc.). Chairs, exec teams, and so on can go in a "history" section of sorts. Make sure to add to [[:Category:Annual Tracking]]
*What do we do about all those default Wiki pages, [[EUSwiki:Copyrightwarning2|Copyrights]], [[EUSwiki:Privacy policy|privacy policy]], etc.
:*Hey, meet with people and work with them. Also create content, less infrastructure.

===New Frontiers===
*Dean Nicell...?
*Skim the McGill Reddit. They've got some good content.
*Skim the McGill Reddit. They've got some good content.
*Is Joey's Rules of Order a Policy?? Not really
*What do we want to do with the footer? It's underutilized.
*Why is SelComm ''Old'' in the Policy folder?
*Consider proposing another way to name motions at council? How do legit councils organize documents? Right now best we have, for example, is <code>New Business item X from Council on April, XX XXXX</code>, which is unreliable
*wowowow just found a Kaitlyn McGoldrick Special! It's a good start outlining broadstrokes of history, [[EUS History]]
*Where's Ski Trip Policy?
:*Update:It's being worked on, nothing passed yet
*'''''Holy moly''''' update that room bookings area. I'd love for there to be unique pages for every bookable space (or in the case of trottier, different headers in the same article for the different rooms). This should be straightforward?
*Look into addition of "last updated" super module that will add some kind of dashboard to see most outdated pages
*Master Category created: [[:Category:EUS]], in addition to a more backend based category, [[:Category:Tracking]]
