I realize there might be a bit of a stigma associated with meetings and that there'll always be a few people who can't make them, but I think that regular meetings (bi weekly or at least monthly) might help spur development. This includes our formerly active developers and the new folks who might have a few questions and would like to get more involved in the processes we use to decide on inclusion of new features (among other things).
It would also help us come to consensus for dates to set our milestones - we used to follow them somewhat closely and it worked fairly well. We could also go over some of those remaining tickets in 1.4 and try to have Robby and I (and others?) help triage the remaining 1.4 tickets. For example, we could specify a critical priority for tickets to be placed in the 1.4 milestone. If not regular meetings, then we should probably at least have one before the release of 1.4 just to make sure everyone is on the same page. Although we do a pretty good job of keeping Trac in-line with our priorities (minus some of the newer tickets that haven't been triaged yet), there are always some things that are ambiguous and should be discussed. Thoughts on this? Was it Thursdays we used to hold them on in previous years? If Eric is OK with this, then he and I could take care of arranging it as he and Chris had done in previous years. Have a great weekend everyone!
