+Notes
+=====
+
+Daniel has been busy and hasn't made much progress. He's looking at
+different Markdown parsers for Rust.
+
+Lars has made some changes to the prototype tooling and their command
+line interfaces (only the Markdown input file needs to be named now,
+and there are options to produce HTML and PDF, and to run the
+generated test program), some changes to the architecture document,
+and has had a feedback session with a co-worker who tried Fable. Lars
+also made Debian packages, which get automatically built and published
+by his personal CI.
+
+We updated the [[roadmap]], discussed licensing (probably copyleft for
+the tools, but output documents and generated code should have same
+license as their corresponding input files), widening the circle of
+people we request for feedback (we named a few people to approach in
+the new iteration).
+
+We discussed change review (we'll start doing that when we start
+working on the production implementation), and project hosting
+(probably github or gitlab, with an automatic mirror of code and
+tickets and everything).
+
+We discussed some details of typography for the generated document.
+Any drastic changes will have to wait for post-launch. It might be
+good to find someone who's actually good at typgraphy to help us
+design that aspect better.
+
+We're still making good progress for the August launch. There's not
+much more we absolutely have to do by then, but the more mature and
+smooth we can make the software for first launch, the better.
+
+We still want there to be a talk about Fable at the November Debian
+miniconf. It looks like Lars won't be able to go, but Daniel will and
+can deliver the talk. We'll prepare the talk together.

+
+Iteration plan
+==============
+
+Lars
+----
+
+1. Write some preliminary scenarios for the architecture document.
+1. Add link to tutorial to Fable website front page.
+1. Draft an invitation to look at Fable. Send it to a few selected
+   people.
+1. Change PDF typesetting to use boldface for regexp captures, and
+   some and grey for keywords.
+1. Fix tutorial tmp.py and tmp.md mentions.
+1. Draft a proposal for Fable licensing for the production version,
+   and send to Daniel for review.
+
+
+Daniel
+------
+
+1. Continue work on parsing and generating Markdown in Rust.
+1. Review drafts from Lars.
