Meeting Notes
 * If you want to add something to the Agenda, edit this page. Try and make your changes at least 1 day prior to the meeting. Put your name/nickname after the agenda item, and make sure to attend the meeting.
 * If a discussion results in someone agreeing to do something, the moderator should send an IRC message starting with "TODO:" and the person's name and short description, to make searching the meeting logs easier
 * Moderator should control change of meeting topics. Use something like "OK to move on?", and if everyone has finished the discussion of the current topic, the moderator then sends a message with the next agenda topic. Moderator should force moving on to the next topic if the discussion is too long.
 * Meeting length should be targeted to 30-45 minutes.

New News

 * Nigel's Changes - Wont be here so you can discuss it without me ;)
 * Icons/Icon refactored with KMLIcon capability. Icon now can render itself and be subclassed usefully.  KMLIcon is an example.
 * KMLImporter refactored into KMLImporterNew and all parsing code moved into PluginSDK/KMLReader
 * Whiteboard added as a plugin. Actual drawing code is in the Collab project. May wish to move DrawLayer into PluginSDK when mature.
 * Eventually jhuaplworldwind goes away as most of the widget code is already in newwidgets and now the icon stuff is now in Icons/Icon.
