+# Notes
+
+We decided to not follow the usual meeting structure and instead only
+discussed how to refactor the Subplot code base.
+
+We've again made some progress towards switching from using Pandoc to
+parse markdown to using the `pulldown-cmark` crate. Lars is slowly
+converting the "visitor" modules to use the new abstract syntax tree.
+
+For this iteration:
+
+* Lars will drop `pandoc_ast` as a dependency in favor of
+  `pulldown_cmark`, and a custom representation of a parsed Markdown
+  document. Lars will probably use a lightweight abstraction for HTML,
+  and rewrite the `pandoc_ast::MutVisitor` use to query that instead.
+* Lars will drop the `Markdown::set_metatdata` method and
+  `Markdown::to_json` methods, and generate HTML directly from the new
+  abstract syntax tree. This means we won't be using Pandoc to produce
+  output, either.
+* [[!subplotissue 312]] was opened about a dependency problem. Daniel
+  will implement a fix. He has done enough to realize that our MSRV
+  (1.60) is old enough that it causes problems with updating
+  dependencies. We decided to amend our MSRV to be "whatever is in
+  Debian unstable" for now, and change this to "whatever is in Debian
+  testing", once Subplot is in Debian testing.
+  - Lars will make an MR to record this decision.
+* Daniel will update our Docker image for testing with the MSRV
+  version to use a newer version.
+* Lars will make an MR to record the decision that HTML is the only
+    output we need to produce from `subplot docgen`.
