Hi, :-) The "marketing team" have been holding conference calls to discuss ideas and on-going business. I think people have found it a good way to exchange opinions and information quickly, and have also found it a great way to get to know each other better and develop a team spirit. Of course, there are almost certainly people who prefer just to do their contributing without having that kind of interaction with other project members.
But I'd like to suggest organizing a conference call for documentation contributors - at least as a one-time thing (we could discuss the idea of regular or periodic conferences during the call). Some reasons for doing this are as follows: 1) I'd like to talk to some of the more-long-standing contributors and get a better idea of what material and resources the project already has, and what we could usefully work on developing. 2) We could get an idea of how many active documentation contributors there actually are in the LibO community. 3) We could talk about workflows, and try and establish who would like to play what role(s). 4) We can discuss working rules and conventions, to help new contributors like me get up to speed more quickly. 5) We can talk about the above more quickly than via posts to the mailing list, and can then follow up with further development of what we discuss, on the mailing list and on the wiki. If anyone's interested, we can also work live on a Google Wave (I could provide a place to do that temporarily until the project gets its own Wave resource, and we can make the Wave public). Any reactions about all that? If people seem favorable, I can follow up with Florian Effenberger to arrange for access to the Talkyoo channel, we can set up a poll to see when the best date and time is (hopefully in the *very near* future), and I can create a wiki page where we can work-up an agenda.
