Batuhan has been added since he added himself as a watcher of the repository. I don't have a user name for Henry, though. > I have also started a PyTables group on convore, if we need to discuss > things there. https://convore.com/pytables/ Interesting. I've never used convore before, but it may make sense to move all of our discussions there in the short-term to not overwhelm the users list. Any thoughts? Would people rather keep the discussion here? (We've gained half a dozen watchers who are not involved in this conversation. They may have found out about the move via the list, in which case keeping things visible may be a sensible goal). > We should probably have a discussion on what needs to be done in the > near term and where we think things are going. Agreed. I've added everything that I had scribbled on a sheet of paper since Friday as github issues. Feel free to add your own, comment on others, etc. "#6 Schedule first governance meeting" could definitely stand to be commented on by everyone, both to when & how (IRC, skype, webex, ...). It might even make sense to set up something on doodle.com. > Be Well > Anthony Cheers, ~Josh > On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 4:48 PM, Josh Moore <josh.mo...@gmx.de> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> On Jun 3, 2011, at 11:37 PM, Francesc Alted wrote: >> >>> Hey Josh, >>> >>> 2011/6/3 Josh Moore <josh.mo...@gmx.de> >>> >>>> First of all, an amazing thanks to Francesc for making PyTables Pro >>>> available!!
