John, Agreed. As a group we discussed this at length and the majority of the conversations should occur on the mailing list and this is the best way for open source projects to exist and develop. But based on my experience with many open source projects in the past it's also critical to have check points to make sure integration issues/decision points are happening and the project team is able to come to concensus.
So this is not a replacement for the mailing list but a high level conversation and to date has proved to be extremely useful but needs to be opened up to the larger audience to aviod critical decisions being made by only the smaller group. You are more the welcome to join these meetings in the future. Brian On 7/12/2007, "John R.
