     - Gershon: Would have preferred to use native comments, but not a big deal
     - Robert: Took a little getting used to.
     - Kris: Bringing comments into content in Oxygen not as smooth as would like but made it work.
     - Kris: Requires switching between two branches in github to resolve comments, one for the comments and the main development branch.
     - Eliot: git work tree feature might help in working with two branches at the same time (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-worktree)
     - Scott: Syncro Soft asking for more detailed requirements around review stats. Scott will follow up with Kris.
     - Scott: Found an issue with Syncro-provided transform and nested comments when trying to generate formatted view of the review content (using Chemistry-based PDF generation)
     - Robert: Reviewed the comments generally: lots of useful comments, some drafting issues need to be corrected.
     - Kris: Need volunteers to author some examples and such.
     - Keith: Volunteering for image map example, example topics for simple tables and accessibility (see Volunteer Tasks wiki page)
