I think I was the only one strongly opposed, and I was expressing my opinion based on experience. Anything that excludes people as a matter of principle isn't good. I think making it an institutional thing is a really bad idea. If everyone else thinks it's grand, go ahead -- but review occasionally to make sure everyone still feels that way as new people join the list. :-) Here's a counter-proposal that I think alleviates those concerns, and can still garner some of the benefits. Don't make it something based on a particular time; focus calls instead on specific topics at need. If there's some particular area that several people want to bang heads on in realtime, propose doing it and see who's interested and what time works best for them. That gives everyone a chance to participate in the decision about how important the call is and when it should be. And give several days' notice so people can catch up on the email, and someone needs to report back to the list. How does that sound? Or maybe something in between? - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQ2PiP5rNPMCpn3XdAQLVEQQAin/Sglvjp207gQ1AWApQyI4jw71CHuyo zOMI00h8AtIZvtVVtLfTrgDolI15n5POc81iR3J4Mi9IucW1HmEpXmwuIlloU5Ue IqArQKAKiI9ye44jp6HhyBMXG3NTXjxJpi8j5Hrn9f++Q0Fh0ho2ITKTcXqadM5D o2ZGpWSvKEw= =JEHg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
