New Proposal for Reporting SIG Meeting Topics, Schedule, and Structure

We have a new proposal for the structure, topics, and schedule for Reporting SIG meetings starting July 2024. We would like to discuss this with you and see what you think! Here is the general idea:

• Reporting SIG meetings return a weekly schedule, still held at 11am ET on Mondays
• meeting topics alternate between "business" and "development" each week
• "business" means topics like presentations on reporting functionality and new features, new reporting applications, surveys and studies on reporting, etc.
• "development" means working on derived tables and report queries for the folio-analytics GitHub repository
• "workshopping" queries could be scheduled during any of these meetings, and it would be great to have topics and/or questions in advance so we can prepare to walk through the answers/approaches, such as "how to I fix this inventory query to get rid of the duplicates?" or "what is the best way to calculate totals in this finance query?" 

-meetings devoted to workshopping are good

-sounds like a plan
