Folks I've been revisiting the decision to stop having IRC chats. We did this, partially based on feedback from the Incubator PMC that felt perhaps that the chats were leading to a lack of fair discussion on the email list.
However, I have personally noticed that the community is less vibrant without the regular chats. I would like to suggest we restart the chats with the following ground rules: 1) we log the chats to the dev list (yes I know we always did) 2) If we have any proposals in the chats we explicitly send these out as separate notes and follow up in email to make any decisions. In other words the IRC chats are not formal decision making forums (fora?) but there to stimulate discussion. 3) we choose a time that is as convenient as possible to all our global contributors. I'm copying the Incubator PMC to get their input too.
