Re: [gwt-contrib] Re: Quarterly Hangouts On Air
The concern I've heard expressed during in-person discussions about how to do this is that a written document of answers 'feels' more real and concrete than a group of people answer questions live, since they clearly have no chance to vet their answers from their own organization or with each other. As long as the questions stay in the realm of what GWT currently is, that wouldn't be an issue, but when we start jumping into the When will IE X support be dropped or When will Java Y support be added or Why isn't my library being added to GWT territory, the panelists may feel as though it is safer to just leave the questions un-answered. That said, this would be keeping in the reddit ama form... With a live speaker and panel, if no one answers a question, the dead airs gets to people, and someone steps up to try an answer or at least rephrase the question, even though the answer might be qualified (this is just my opinion), or vague (we're still working through the specifics). BTW, there is a /r/gwt already, we could start there for some informal stuff (weekly/monthly AMAs), and then do a slightly more official call quarterly?

The questions in the moderator would probably all get asked; though seeing some of them come up in the gwt-team meetings would be cool too. An actual hangout over a single time slot generally leaves a lot of people unable to come, so, maybe we'll see if we can keep attracting a lot of people to the community meetings, and maybe we'll get a greater audience to steering committee meetings. The only reason I was not viewing the public committee meetings was visibility; my gwt-contrib emails were getting filtered with hundreds of other group emails, so I didn't really keep up (have since create a filter specifically for Gwt). I am going to email Bhaskar to see if I can get plugged in on the meeting tomorrow, and I bet if we post it on G+, we'll see greater developer interest. -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups GWT Contributors group.

Re: [gwt-contrib] Re: Quarterly Hangouts On Air
Just FYI, our gwt-team meetings didn't get enough interest for live stream to justify the effort so we eventually switched to just recording instead. One thing that might be useful for community with much less effort is; gwt-steering can look into a few top questions from moderators in their periodic meeting and respond to and/or delegate them.

Re: [gwt-contrib] Re: Quarterly Hangouts On Air
Perhaps have an occasional meeting day on the mailing list or in G+, sort of like a Reddit Ask me anything? This might work better with people in different timezones.
