 ==== Documentation Survey ====
-Demian added documentation to the March Community Call agenda as discussed last month. This conversation led to a decision to standardize on PSR-12, and Demian has been working on a series of pull requests to implement this modernization.
+Demian added documentation to the March Community Call agenda as discussed last month. This conversation led to a decision to standardize on PSR-12, and Demian has been working on a series of pull requests to implement this modernization. A possible next step after this could be to work toward stricter phpstan validation.
-The project now has a shared Google drive through OLF; Demian proposed that this might be a good place to put the survey results for future reference (rather than the time-consuming process of transferring into the wiki).

 ==== Training Discussion ====
-Several RSP representatives (Mohan, Anne, Hugo and Galen) met last month to talk about documentation and training. Mohan is going to distribute a list of existing documentation that is ready for proofreading. Galen expressed some interest in building a reference manual to complement the "Learning" book. Some possibilities for future training sessions were discussed.

Some possibilities for future training sessions were discussed. A follow-up call is scheduled for next week, March 22 at 8am EDT.
+There was some discussion about the reference manual idea -- Galen's inspiration comes from the Evergreen project, where [[https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/eg/docs/latest/shared/about_this_documentation.html|documentation]] is maintained as part of the same source repo as the code, using ASCII doc format. This could better support having version-specific documentation in appropriate and accessible places, and could relieve some of the burden from the wiki (e.g. the wiki can just link to the documentation where appropriate).
 ===== 4. Conflict of Interest Policy =====

 The decision was made not to use Lokalize for the 9.0 translation cycle, as there are still some issues to work through. Demian is currently working through the normal manual translation process for 9.0.
+André proposed setting a separate meeting to discuss Lokalize and figure out next steps. André will coordinate with Demian on Slack.
