Step 1 was to agree on a name. There was an announcement some months back
that a name had been chosen, and development started:

somehow easier for everyone to contribute."
Me too. There was some discussion in that announcement of what the Trisquel
devs have been doing to set up new dev infrastructure, partly to make it
easier for more people to contribute. I see you'd already read that
announcement though, since you commented on it at the time ;)
I can understand why the Trisquel dev team are hesitant to speculate about
release dates. If they say "we hope to have it out by date X', that is likely
to be treated as a promise by some impatient end uses, with much wailing and
gnashing of teeth resulting if the target isn't met.
But it would be great to see some kind of roadmap for roughly what has to be
done on each Trisquel release, in what order, expressed as a series of
stages. That way, all that would need to be done to keep the user community
updated is a short notice (a post on a fediverse account?), with a link to
that roadmap, saying something like:
"Trisquel X update: All stages completed up to Stage 3. Stage 3, 4, and 5 in
progress now."

Does anyone take any notes at these meetings? Or at least logs? If so, is
there a place on the website they are posted, so those who can't attend can
read them?
