matatk: Update on breakout 'well known', recording to be made available. How to navigate to well known sites.

matatk: Several pages are well known in any given site, how do we expose them in a best practice way.

matatk: Will alert when recording is available.

Janina: we think that this is on the right track to work with the COGA request; this may be a wide scale adaption if we can socialize it? (not just COGA)

Janina: Can we publish this, socialize this, get it bubbled up to the collective consciousness?
