Mimir:Spring 2017 Meeting Minutes

 * Semesters
 * Spring 2017

Minutes for week ending 20 Feb 2017
Started at 8:45 - 9:25

Everyone is present today.

We will continue what last year's group accomplished. We will work almost exclusively on Chapter 3, and try to give it more of a narrative. From looking at it right now, it looks like it has some content, but not much narrative along with the code examples. We want to expand on the coding narrative and add more to the python section, which at this point is only a small section. If previous years had perl basic concepts we think we should also have python basic concepts. We will also look over the first section "The Imperative Paradigm" and see if we can add more to that section as well.

Dunya - Start looking at basic python concepts. Try to match them so they are similar to the perl basic concepts.

Freddie/Nick - Look at python section, find room for expansion

Surbhi - The Imperative Paradigm

Steve, Gayathra - 4 each of the bold sections. Steve will do the first 4, Gayathri will do the last 4
