Decisions Made

• Issues Improve the AppD's search function and documentation #370 and Extend AppD application definition to support describing app channels and their purpose #371 doesn't have enough support from the community for now to move forward, so we will keep them open for the time being, but remove them from 2.0-candidates
• Add categories metadata to AppD application definitions #369 has wide support, so we will add it to the 2.0 milestone, and it needs a PR
• Introduce a general, host independent, fdc3.general.app.manifest manifest type describing an application #314 needs more reviews

Action Items

• Remove Improve the AppD's search function and documentation #370 and Extend AppD application definition to support describing app channels and their purpose #371 from 2.0 milestone.
• Add categories metadata to AppD application definitions #369 to 2.0 milestone
• Raise an issue for an implementations page for the FDC3 website - @kriswest
  • See Create an **implementations** section in the FDC3 website #466
• Add Support the production of Desktop Agent Bridging #453 to the next SWG agenda, as a matter of priority - @kriswest
