## Agenda
* Are we prioritizing work effectively? (For us, and the rest of the community keeping an eye on our progress)
* Are we looking at the current Milestone to decide what to work on?
* Does the Milestone page get updated often enough?
* Matt: I'd like to build a new habit of reviewing our on-deck work together each week. Will Milestones suit that purpose? Or should we have a super-streamlined Project board with a column of issues to pick from? And perhaps do releases more regularly?
* Example: [JupyterBook project board](https://github.com/orgs/jupyter-book/projects/1)
* Martin: Totally agree. Project board would feel better. Nice UI to keep track of what's happening. Get rid of current milestone.
* Starting a [team compass](https://compass.geojupyter.org/) - what do you want to see there?
* Link to the project board
* Calendar!
*
### Status reports
* Arjun: Symbology bugfixes!
* Arjun: Autosave changes to layer properties
* Arjun: Bugfix to vectortile layers to support symbology
### Requests for help
* Can we apply graduated and categorized symbology to vectortile layers? https://github.com/geojupyter/jupytergis/issues/704
* Matt: Trying to do a proof of concept, struggling.
* Arjun: Try in QGIS to test the dataset.
