Agenda

janina: Day 1 can be called "Registry"
… day 2: Explainers, demos, socialization
… focus on cleaning up explainers and demos
… explicit tech issues can also be handled

Lionel: Tech and implementation topics worthy of discussion that I see
… Symbol font status -- a font that implements the user's personalized symbol choices
… ARASAAC localization and what we can learn from that
… Ruby implementation details
… Lightening the webpage content creator's burden via AI
… or without AI -- Matthew's POC
… Where in content we will have meaningful adoption: Symbol boards, Lists, video chapter lists

janina: Symbols have been traditionally about communication, not the type of sign-posting that we have been discussing
