  • Update on Glitch on user name where user's contributions get mixed up with another users (PRB0044508)
    • Solution: Patch to fix the issue to be installed around April due to its urgent nature. Then wait for long term Mediawiki cycle.

  • Update on UBC Wiki embed to Canvas

    • WordPress Gutenberg - Will Wiki Embed be added as a block?
    • Wiki Embed can be added as a block.
  • Scheduling regular meetings (1 per term?)
    • 1 per term is just right.
  • Other Stuff:
    • For simple feature request - it will be best to create a ticket to LT Hub so that it will be easier to track,
    • Planning a PD for LT Hub Staff to UBC Wiki may be a good idea to keep everyone track of the new feature/enhancement on UBC Wiki.
    • Migrating a self-hosted wiki course to ubc wiki.
