Rough meeting notes:

Attendees: @chasen @daffl @ilyavf @justinbmeyer @phillipskevin @pYr0x

Discussed topics:

Next DoneJS Chicago meetup:

• Hack Night — Building a weekly weather report
• We’re always looking for suggestions of small examples or apps to build

Handle 404s:

• DoneJS should probably handle 404s out of the box
• Need feedback on what’s in the issue

Support customizing Babel / core JS transpiler:

• Question: can we make a steal-babel plugin to handle this?
• Answer: unfortunately no because Steal plugins can’t be used on JavaScript
• Need to work through how to make this work for the build and client

Make it easy to call the current template as a partial:

• Want a way to have a partial call itself
• Related: Named partials PR
• Maybe table this as a feature for our next templating engine
