I sent this email yesterday but it seems it did not get through,: I also think irc meetings is a good idea and was about to add it to https://phab.enlightenment.org/T6740 This kind of discussion about the project would be more quickly done with an irc meeting. if timezones are a problem, there could be an alternative schedule like blender is doing : https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Contact#Weekly_Meetings This way it also becomes bi-weekly for people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
