=== Action Items from This Meeting ===
 * AddNewHardware/HardwarePack pages need to explain kernel packages
   as Steve noted below
 * HardwarePacks page refers to Maverick instead of Natty
 * Mentoring section needs to be renamed and back links should be fixed
 * A better header for wiki that includes things like a "Resources"
   link in banner/header
 * Toolchain documentation improvement

=== Minutes ===
==== Feedback from Steve L ====
 * No super hot button issues with team
 * come up with clearer idea of what goes in hwpacks and policies
   around them
  * snag with v310 hwpack. needed u-boot not built by John R
  * missing linux-meta package in their hwpack. package name changes
    each time ABI is bumped. (Scott has had people confused by
    Meta-Packages)
  * Do we need new "types/names" of hwpacks for situations like this
  * Maybe ER team needs to add some to HWPACK documentation to mention
    these things.
  * Scott B - ask Andy Green for feedback on documentation changes
  * HardwarePacks page refers to Maverick. Should be Natty and probably
    say "CURRENT RELEASE"
 * documentation under mentoring. needs to be promoted
  * rename to how-to
  * put something on main page and list latest updates
  * suggestions for front page:
   * change the way the header looks so that people will actually start
     to notice it again. Put some main links in this new header
   * joey links:
     https://wiki.canonical.com/OEMServices
     https://wiki.linaro.org/LinaroHeader

==== Feedback from Scott B ====
 * cross-compiler documentation is still confusing
  * break up page by 4.4/4.5 versions into 2 pages. and then versions.
  * we shouldn't even suggest 4.4. 4.5 is what should be used
  * explain why you do a add-apt-repository
 * Cross-development Environment for userspace. There's nothing. We
   don't have a good story on this. Steve says we're improving so not
   spend much time trying to explain

==== Feedback from Kiko ====
 * echo steve's comments on hwpacks
  * (scott) naming convention for community/landing team to indicate
    what is supported

==== Discussion after leads ====
 * RequirementsProcessHowto - should be per release for as things change
  * ProductRequirement is a little off. Its not needed
 * Joey to ask if 1111 release will just use TechnicalTopics or still
   do a TechnicalRequirements page
