I love an e-mail that elicites opinions :)
Ok, I give. I personally hate typing and was looking for an alternative for
folks. Sounds like there is moderate interest and strong disdain so I'll
withdraw the proposal.
Perhaps this proposal is a bit like the fireswamp.

I worry about the same problem that we have with IRC - that while it's
a very convenient way to communicate, not everyone can make it and
participate in the discussion, and also despite the best of intentions,
summaries result in not everything discussed making it to the
"institutional memory" that is the dev@ list. It's true that e- mail is
slow, but it does allow the time-shifting and "inclusivity", to coin a
word...
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but it's just my $0.02....

I was thinking that it might be worthwhile to have a regular weekly
conference call for those on the dev list. It would not be mandatory
at all but we could all put it on our calendars and use it as a time
to talk over issues rather than rely totally on e- mail. We'd get
someone to take notes and post them to the dev list and solicit
agenda items from there as well.
I'll look into how we could do this and what the cost issues are. I
was thinking something like Thursdays at noon EST (most favorable to
cover those that might be interested from Europe).
Thoughts on the idea, frequency, etc.
Cheers,
Matt
