Treasurer's Report
Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for Feb 2012: File:HacDC Financials Mar 2012.pdf
We added no new members in March, and had two non-paying members.
I purchased the video camera and accessories and Clear modem and service that were approved at the last meeting. Also paid $20 for $100 in Vistaprint credits to be used for business cards once we have a design. Despite these expenditures, we finished March $76 ahead and are maintaining about 4 months' reserve.
Secretary's Report
Nothing to report.

Member Reports
Tim Slagle: A lot of work has been done behind the scenes on the HacDC wiki. We created a HacDC:wiki mailing list for planning and discussion. We have created a Category outline and assigned all current articles to it, which allows us to use some nice navigation features. ITG installed a bunch of extension plugins and we are trying them out to see what we should use going forward. As of now there is a new "Categories" tree box on the left side that lets you explore the topic hierarchy, and Category breadcrumbs will print on each page to show where in the outline you are as you read an article. We also assigned some content from the founding days of HacDC into a new "Obsolete" category when it didn't jibe with how things are now. Also made a "RevisionNeeded" category for pages that are worth keeping but don't have current info. Thanks to everyone who's been working on this - ITG, Katie, NickS, Eric and others.
