Ruben, What you say about the wiki may be true, but the fact is that most people who are currently participating on this list are NOT using the wkiki, and I suspect the reason for that is that they, like me, are unfamiliar with how it works.
I am learning wiki code by working on my personal wiki, but I am not going to mess with the team wiki, especially the meeting page, until I have a better handle on the code used. As you said, organizing a meeting is our main priority, and like you, I am trying to get that meeting organized as quickly as possible. It was suggested by Vid that we use the wiki to do that and I was responding to that suggestion, pointing out why I felt that was unfeasible at this point. For this meeting, at least, let's continue to get this meeting organized using the list. I think this is the best way for maximum participation.
