Why not just bookmark http://www.wsfa.org/minutes.htm ?

That page should always contain the latest minutes, even after there's
also a copy in the latest WSFA Journal, which is online at a different URL.

I don't necessarily really want all that many people reading them
until they're in final form.  Of course it's only people reading them
who will help me get them into final form, so there's something of a
dilemma.  Ideally they will be read mostly just by interested WSFA
members who were at the meeting, until they're in the Journal, after
which I'll make no further non-trivial changes except in an emergency.
(I will still corect a misspelling in the online version after that,
but nothing that changes the meaning of anything, unless leaving it
unchanged could result in damage to persons or property.  For instance
I once had to change "please flush paper towels..." into "please DON'T
flush paper towels...".)

The WSFA members will tell me what I got wrong.  For instance Bob
MacIntosh says that the DC3 in '11 bid won't have a table at N4.  I
had thought Mike Nelson said that it would.  I'll review the tape,
and update the minutes if necessary.  (The minutes will report what
was actually said, even if it turns out to have been wrong.)

There *is* a path from the main page to the current minutes.  Two
paths, in fact.  But my intention was that interested people would
bookmark the URL itself, after I announced it here.
