Brainstorm for Harish (15m)

Dropping things (25m)
At our retreat in Arizona, we said we'd be cutting our work on three things. These were:


 * Textbook (Karsten)
 * POSSE alumni relations (Mel and Ryan)
 * TOS grant program (Mel)

I'd like to have a good outline for transition/phase-out plans for all three of these by the time our meeting ends, so we're going to sprint on that for 25 minutes. I set up a public etherpad document at http://openetherpad.org/tos-transition-plans for us to work in, and will email the contents of that document out to TOS when we're done.

Open conversation about any of the topics below (our team's plate, as discussed in Tempe) or other stuff folks may want to talk about.
