This is deliberate, if misguided(? alternatives are welcome). The
topic page is about the topic and not the meeting.  Topics can be
re-used at future meetings.  The presenter owns the topic page and
keeps it up to date.

The agenda page is related to a specific meeting date.  The host owns
and maintains the agenda page.

Oops.  I've fixed that on the agenda page in the introduction.

Thanks.  This is a good time for the discussion.

I'm planning a revision to the web site.  The new version of Drupal
has some cool stuff we'll like.

Other ideas / bugs / stuff?
