Maybe some other general stuff. Those tend to be more communication related, to keep others informed and members talking about the stuff they are working on with others. > 3. not just timezone but people finding time out of their daily lives > for the meeting regardless of the time of day for them (it's in the > middle of diner, lunch, at work, etc. etc.) That is hard. > i'm all happy with such meetings. but keeping them going with people > widely spaced around the world it hard. They are not easy, but good to have. Even then need to publish like minutes or summary of the meeting for others. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
