How about starting to have a weekly IRC chat for Tuscany? Most other Apache projects do this, I think its a good way to discuss things publicly, to find out what others are up to, and compared to emails it can be a better way to quickly find out what people think about something or to get some consensus.
As an example, here's what the Axis2 weekly chats are like: http://wiki.apache.org/ws/ChatAgenda How about Tuesdays at 15:30 GMT (16:30 BST, 08:30 PST, 11:30 EDT, 21:00Bangalore) for 1 hour? Please do say whether or not you like the idea or if this time is no good for you, there's not so much point if the main active developers don't participate. If people agree and we start next Tuesday 18th April then a topic could be what everyone is going to be doing the release for May thats been mentioned on the mailing list. ...ant
