weekly? not a chance... Also yes the RSB isnt for this.. What might be a possibility is try to organise a weekly/fortnightly IRC meeting so whoever wants to join in can. We might even try for 2 sessions so the euros and yanks don't need to try and coordinate a time that works for everyone. Jonathan
