Discuss new note taking app
Ramya presents her investigation into ChaosPad alternatives.
Etherpad:
- we can pick on already hosted servers from https://github.com/ether/etherpad-lite/wiki/Sites-That-Run-Etherpad
- tried https://pad.education/ - no team option, but named pads possible; however unclear if these names are unique
- pads can't be private
Chaospad - Team site:
- Admin account invites sent for a test setup https://osmewg.pads.ccc.de
- OpenStreetMap domain name already taken for team site
- Can group all pads related to team in one place
- Pads can be archived
- All team pads can be downloaded as a zip file
- Option of public and private pads
- No way to name pads
- Team name can be modified under application configuration section
Other options:
- Firepad
Decision: Use the Chaospad Team site
Tasks:
- Migrate existing content to the Chaospad team
- Robert to add all EWG members to the Chaospad team

Open questions:
- Functionality when a blocked user sends a message (silent rejection?)
- Other notifications -> project description should not affect the functionality of other notifications, in particular not changeset comments

OSM Carto
Postponed, waiting for Roland's communication with osm-carto maintainers.

Any other business
Would the EWG meet at SOTM?
