IMO these mailing lists should also work for this purposes. Although that requires that they are reacted to and the project's management and processes are transparent.

Lack of communication and well defined processes just lead to failures [1]. -Timo [1] http://www.rose-hulman.edu/Class/ce/HTML/publications/momentold/winter96-97/hyatt.html > 3) I am planning a software solution to empower this sort of thing > using ofcourse Qt and QML, but this won't be ready until I think the > next EUpian conference. > > I tend to to think that a host with the people sitting and talking in > an informal manner together with (1) and (2) would suffice for now, is > this along the lines the framework you had in mind? > > -Sivan. > _______________________________________________ > MeeGo-community mailing list > MeeGo-community@meego.com > http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community > http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list MeeGo-community@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
