			*It was unanimously agreed that the current portal needs a serious makeover in its look to something modern and that looks less stale. While there is significant content already, it was agreed that appearance can have a huge effect. Nonetheless the portal has seen some activity since mid 2012 when it was created:
			**There were over 637,000 hits to the landing page
			**There were over 56,000 hits to the software page

	*It was recognised that canSAS cannot do everything. It needs to co-operate with others to provide links to relevant materials that have been created elsewhere.		*It was recognised that canSAS cannot do everything.
