I agree completely with Thorsten on all 3 of these.

Again, I agree with Thorsten. There needs to be a place to do current work 
which may or may not even be finished. I don't have an opinion as to what that 
should be named, but it's always been incoming and that has worked fine so far. 
Maybe there is a good reason to rename it?

Actually, the way we notify people of meetings and where the minutes and such 
go is not completely up to us. The reporting pages and such were defined by
Jono and team quite some time ago. Maybe in the meantime things have changed 
or perhaps there is some flexibility that I am not aware of though.

Right.

Getting quite complicated. It seems you have defined your ideas well but 
perhaps there is a way to make this information more understandable? In 
addition, this seems very final to me whereas I understood the purpose of this 
page to be a place for everyone to put their ideas for how the wiki should be 
structured. If we intend to use this page as the final structure we should 
discuss any changes before editing the page.
