+### Standing items
+
+- [ ] What's going well?
+  - Seems like lots of folks are talking about GeoJupyter :)
+- [ ] What needs work?
+  - Our blog is possibly overpopulated with meeting notes in addition to announcements and analyses. Split it into two separate listings?
+  - Community handbook created on `geojupyter.org`; should we move it to a dedicated "team compass" website?
+  - "What is GeoJupyter?" make this information more prominent.
+  - Since GeoJupyter has only JupyterGIS for sometime, Maybe we can start thinking about starting a new supporting project or something to represent Geojupyter better as a community?
+      - Use a future community meeting to dig through our summarized transcripts of user interviews to inform this brainstorming!
+  - Architecture documentation
+      - Nicolas shared some LLM-generated documentation; how can we benefit from that?
+  - In hackathons, we often start work but don't work on it again between hackathons.
+      - Would be useful to have more documentation to help support them between hackathons.
+      - Ask at the next Hackathon: What can we do to support you continuing this work between now and the next hackathon?
+  - Contributing to the JS side of JGIS has a high learning curve. The Python side is more approachable / familiar.
+      - Separate Python API into a different package?
+      - Can we add some Python-only functionality, e.g. a helper function that can produce static plots from the JupyterGIS document that's been built up?
+          - e.g. Helper to use geopandas to perform processing, but output a file instead of updating the map; then can use other existing functions to add that output file back to the project.
+      - Need to think hard about compatibility, versioning!
