   • A few of us will come up with a new index page to better structure our Wiki content.

2. Benno: Present briefly open mindmapping softwares: MindMeister, Mindomo

3. Benno: Paper filenames in /Public/Papers. I am starting to see duplicate files for the same paper. Question: Should we standardize? How?

   • We don't need standardization, except that the filename begins with the first author's last name. Each of us will dump their paper folder into /Public/Papers/ in regular intervals, every other month or so.
