I'm a new user in this list, so I'm not sure whether the Desktop Team Meetings have been useful in the past or not. However, after a casual glance through the links you have mentioned, some of the items that can be handled in the immediate next meeting (apart from the usual tracking and report making) are * Prioritising the items in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Visions (high priority items seem to be Video projector management and Personal Backup with reminder) * If required starting a discussion on the items and identifying the work already done for the items (ie, I was looking at "Userfriendly filesystem", and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HideFilesystemStructure, and some of the points mentioned there has been already implemented by my Summer of Code work, outlined at http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2007/Reports/Sayamindu) * The prioritizing can be done for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsabilityWishlist as well. Some of the stuff in the UsabilityWishlist do not seem to be very complicated (eg: "Open Location" Dialog) , and I would definitely love to start work on the easier ones to start with :-).
