 * Organizing Manual

 * Propaganda and Fliers: could be condensed into one category
 * Individual chapters that have developed their own fliers should contribute their designs/templates

 * FAQ: Needs lots of attention

 * Data CD: One CD might be preferable so that we're forced to limit materials/media to what's specific for our own organization
 * The OpenCD?
 * Would require us to update our CD image each time the software updated, while our own materials won't change that often.
 * Wired CD: MP3s can be downloaded separately
 * Linking to these resources would be very practical, on the other hand.
 * Volunteers: Eldo

T-shirts/Merch
Elizabeth and Fred were having trouble working out issues with the design, so the design from last week is going to the printing company. DHB is working with us for the physical shipping of merch and online store with the webteam.
