Thanks :-)
I agree that calls are not typical for the Apache projects I've seen
either. But, it was proposed as a means to try to work through the
issues quickly and to get everyone acquainted. Most discussion will
obviously happen on the mailing lists. But, we need to come to a
decision quickly on the base code as that's holding up any other
work. If the community would rather handle it via IRC then we can do
that. If done on IRC, do you just copy/paste the transcript
somewhere for people to comment on later?
While I understand the usefulness of a call to sort things out
quickly, I think that IRC would be the second best medium and would
better follow the Apache Way... and for an incubating project it is
important to understand what that means (even for non-incubating
really).
In some cases IRC is better than a phone call, as often times in a
call folks get clobbered by others and so on. So I would recommend
setting up an IRC meeting. Should be comparable on speed to resolve
any issues.
As for recording the conversation, I would say either in svn or email
to the list should be fine, both being more or less everlasting with
goobs of oversight.
