Rough meeting notes:

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

**Discussed topics:**

Next DoneJS Chicago meetup:

- [Hack Night — Building a weekly weather report](https://www.meetup.com/DoneJS-Chicago/events/237785381/)
- We’re always looking for suggestions of small examples or apps to build

[Handle 404s](https://github.com/donejs/donejs/issues/806):

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

[Support customizing Babel / core JS transpiler](https://github.com/stealjs/steal/issues/1040):

- Question: can we make a `steal-babel` plugin to handle this?
- Answer: unfortunately no because [Steal plugins can’t be used on JavaScript](https://gitter.im/donejs/donejs?at=58a728b11465c46a567ac892)
- 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](https://github.com/canjs/can-stache/issues/159):

- Want a way to have a partial call itself
- Related: [Named partials PR](https://github.com/canjs/can-stache/pull/5)
- Maybe table this as a feature for [our next templating engine](https://github.com/canjs/canjs/issues/2995)
