In the Debian Games team we have been working on this and are making a small amount of progress. In particular we are having semi-regular meetings, the most recent ones have all been organised by new team members. Our meetings procedures are documented here, I would encourage other teams to take a look and adopt the parts that make sense: http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Meetings We are also hoping to start some work parties soon: http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Parties I definitely agree that we need to do more and that this is a general problem in Debian that needs work. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
