I was answering Tav's reply to my post about having the draft ready for the News, where he commented that we needed a new page for 2017.
I guess what's really bizarre is that we were literally simultaneously working on the same thing, since you had been planning to do it for some time -- and I was just coincidentally answering my email!
I read the transcript for the meeting, but not very closely. So I just missed it.
I'm not sure if my page wasn't saved properly was because of something you did, or there's a problem with the editor, or it won't allow 2 people in there at the same time? But I had a page made that was alongside the 2015 and 2016 pages. But when I clicked Create at the bottom, the result was blank. https://inkscape.org/en/admin/cms/page/1013/en/preview/ You can see that the footer is extended down, as if something were taking up space. Because a blank page has the footer practically connected with the man menu. So it seems as if there is some content somewhere??
I was also having a problem editing links, where I would select a link > right-click > edit cms plugin and it would be a blank window. So I couldn't do anything with it. I was leaving highlighted comments asking someone else to fix the links.
Should I report either one of those things? Or does both of us being in there at the same time explain it?
All best, brynn

Oh, I see. See my earlier message about this. I've already spent a long time making a page that turned out blank. (Might still be on my clipboard, but now I can't seem to add content on a new page, to try and save it.) It seems we were both editing at the same time, perhaps deleting each other's stuff, I'm not sure.
Anyway I'll stop, so I don't cause a serious problem.
Brynn, looks like we were both fighting on that page. I spent an hour updating the page, saved... and the page disappeared. I had to recreate it.
Sorry about the confusion. I'd said I'd make the page at the meeting last week, but I understand why you jumped in to make it and I'm happy you did.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
