     Greg: getting close, focus on closing issues, merging PRs, then ready for once over from those less closely involved.

   None.

4. Discussion items:

   • Narrative: https://github.com/merely-useful/merely-useful.github.io/issues/240

     General agreement that this is a good idea, and worth the extra time and work. Need to flesh out code to make sure the end product will hit teaching points. Needs R and Python version.

     Action: Damien to open issue to flesh out Classic English Novels examples.

   • Prompts: https://github.com/merely-useful/merely-useful.github.io/issues/236 Opinions still a pretty even split. Agreement to first ask publisher if they have a strong opinion, if they do, go with it. If not, conduct a 24-hour Twitter poll. If Twitter poll is a tie, flip a coin.

     Action Greg will craft email to publisher, and add to issue for comment.
