OLD BUSINESS:

NEW BUSINESS:
 * Can the default be the best imagery available? Specifically I refer to ZoomIt and OneEarth. First-time users are naive ("D'Oh!") (Homer, shut up) so we should make the default give them the best imagery.  Let's face it: the first place everybody tries to visit is their dwelling-place.(nelson)
 * Apropos the previous agenda item, when people zoom in "too far", they should see a message telling them how to get better imagery. Maybe they need to turn on a layer which covers the area they're looking at; maybe they need to lobby their government to release imagery.  But rather than leaving them staring at unusably blurry images, we should tell them what they need to do.(nelson)
 * State of 1.3.4, set a date for all submissions for the beta to be completed, should we wait for any of the new datasets before releasing 1.3.4? (Bull)
