No all users should be able to find that out not just admins.

There are Foundation-level issues that need to be kept to some degree of confidence.

There are Foundation-level issues that need to be kept to some degree of confidence. Although, frankly, I think "all admins" is too broad of a level to release most of those items because, quite frankly, we have a great many untrustworthy admins.

The fact that there are so many admins is one of teh key reasons why I think that such a meeting is so important. It is vital for people to get to know one another a little better and see who the active admins are. At the same time, I also think it is important that the admins be made aware of some things on a Foundation level. What should they be looking out for? How can they resolve problems effectively? What are the exact policities and when (gasp) should these policies be overlooked in the larger interest of the project? The meeting would take place on IRC as Cimon suggested. I think Fred's ideas are excellent, and we can certainly consider implementing an admin only IRC channel and mailing list. These are things that can be brought up at the meeting. I realize that the meeting will be clumsy at first because of all the people involved. I would like, however, to suggest that we try it and see how many people actually show up. We can, of course, have additional meetings as necessary, and may realize that one meeting is impractical. As a full-time Wikipedian, I will make a point of being at any meeting suggested. Suggested time, anyone?

It could be used for all channels if it was hosted somewhere more reliable. I wouldn't want to risk having a large channel like #wikipedia on it right now since it's sharing a server with our mailing lists.
