Few things:

* Discuss which of the policies documented in 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/Policy are still 
relevant and applicable and update it to cover the whole repository.

* Policy (such as licensing) is intermixed in the packaging guidelines 
too. Decide which ones are to separated out.

* Decide on a place to post meeting mins and how to do it. I would 
suggest under http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Development/. There was some 
discussions about not posting meeting logs in the wiki but post to 
mailing list and point to it from the wiki to avoid scalability issues. 
If you are going to continue posting to the wiki, irclog2html like 
Release Engineering meetings at 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/. I find it more readable.
