    <p class="lead"> Each Wednesday ask and collectively help to solve TaxonWorks (and related!) questions </p>

    <p> These <a href"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference"><em>unconference</em></a>-style sessions are on Wednesdays at the same time, every week. All are welcome, regardless of whether you consider yourself a collaborator.
        The <i>flexible agendas</i> are set by those attending the meetings. We use a shared Google document to record our minutes and plan our session. Adding your issues prior to the meeting <em>helps everyone to pre-plan strategies</em> for tackling those issues. </p>
