A big +1 here. A few thoughts.
I agree voice is more productive but has a few potential drawbacks. Harder
to get a transcript for one. Also some non-native english speakers may
prefer the IRC medium rather than voice, but I will let others comment on
that.
I think the two week recurrence is a good idea and +1 on having one
geotools/geosever/udig/java ... irc meeting. I guess the idea would be to
use the geotools list for any organization required, like coming with
agenda items before hand, etc...
Anyways, glad to see this coming back. When do we kick off the first one?
