As the format and content currently stand, there really doesn't seem to be much purpose to real-time meetings. It seems like all the checkbox nominations really don't require anything more than an email to the list (if that, given that they seem to be pre-decided somewhere in closed-door land). Where real-time meetings might've been useful would be for those contentious and complicated issues which seem to crop up every so often, but as those seem to be ignored or side-stepped anyway. . . . Really, I guess what it comes down to is a time saver for the TSG if they only need to pay attention to one 30-minute IRC meeting once a month. ;) _______________________________________________ MeeGo-community mailing list MeeGo-community@meego.com http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-community http://wiki.meego.com/Mailing_list_guidelines
