i dont mind the day-to-day work stuff going on on IRC exclusively - but when discussions about the future directions of a project and the decision making process are held on IRC exclusively, then that is not helpful in attracting new blood. for one because there is no history but also because they may not use IRC that much. > Remember we barely got > summaries of council meetings (which are at a fixed time and date) > until we got a secretary devoted explicitly to that task. > Maybe more > teams should take up the meeting model; that way non-IRC folks can > either be on IRC for meeting times only, or peruse the meeting notes > afterwards if they are interested in what happened. yeah - the kde team is leading the way here. granted - this model may not work for everybody... regards Thilo
