Agenda

Charlotte, Kate, Damien, and Greg all prefer the Taylor & Francis offer - earlier delivery date, higher royalties
Please can everyone write two exercises next week and two the week after. We don’t need a fixed number of exercises per chapter; the better way to think of it is that we need roughly the same amount of homework for learners each week (figuring a chapter is a week), so a few big exercises are the same value as a handful of smaller ones.
We’ll do learning objectives and key points after everything else has settled down.
Greg volunteered to write the missing glossary entries and update the bibliography.
We’re going to include setup instructions as an appendix (Damien).
We need figures… anyone feeling artistic?
We’re going to keep all of the appendices we currently have and add a short one on conda and the final directory tree (Damien assigned). If the publisher doesn’t like any of the appendices, we’ll cut then.
The merely-useful.github.io page needs a complete overhaul - we are hoping Luke is willing and able to tackle this?
Damien is going to tackle the narrative bug fix about the shebang, Greg will find someone to sort out the import utilities bug.
Please have a look at https://github.com/merely-useful/merely-useful.github.io/issues/201 and vote for which image you want on the cover.
