For the change in read/write access to the version control repository, 
we'll need to update tutorials on www.tei-c.org, the various tcw 
documents relating to updating the Guidelines and making releases, and 
publicize in the community for those who download releases through SVN.

Before we move, I would like to have a script that will take a text file 
(XML or MediaWiki markup) as input and which will substitute each SF URL 
for the equivalent PURL.  I can update all wiki.tei-c.org and 
www.tei-c.org pages affected.

This will make it easier for people digging through old Council minutes 
and other wiki discussions to make sense of what was being discussed (by 
referring to the associated SF tickets).

I'll start a Google Docs file of things that need to happen and share 
with you all.

Yes, we keep talking disentangling official TEI-C content and other 
things that Sebastian has worked on over the years, moving the latter 
somewhere else.  This should happen in any case, but I guess Sebastian's 
point is that this forces our hand to actually go ahead.

While we're going to discuss which category Byzantium falls into during 
our call next week, are there any other unclear cases?
