< To create a steering group meeting agenda/minutes wiki page, create a new page as "<Project name>-sg:meeting/YYYY-MM-DD" on the internal wiki, remove it from the "Template" category and add it to your project steering group meetings category for this year, for example "Tryggve steering group meetings 2016". Steering group minutes should not go onto the external wiki until they have been approved. Steering group minutes should be approved and published within 2 weeks of the meeting. >
