I dunno. What's wrong with just asking people to pop into IRC and bug people every couple of hours until someone who knows shows up? :)
This seems too over-structured to work. Getting people to show up for the premeeting will be a pain. Personally, I'd prefer people felt comfortable asking questions in IRC anytime, or emailing the mailing list. With this, people may get the impression they should only ask their questions in the once-a-month new-developers meeting. Perhaps it'd be better to have a mailing list dedicated to asking questions about the code?
