Hola!
IRC or skype is fine with me. I am based in Europe hour line.
Like Milos, I don't fully understand either what this means: "supporting the
development of subject recruitment processes". In any case, I added my name and
priorities to the functions list.
Welcome to everybody! Mayo

Tema: Re: [RCom-l] IRC meetings
I'm strongly in favor of voice conferencing of some sort (Skype or
otherwise) due to the difference in the amount of time text and speech take
to convey ideas. For example, recently, I have been exit-interviewing some
enwp editors. Of those interviews I've done over the phone or skype, I was
able to complete the entire question set in about 30 minutes. Whereas, the
same question set took about 4 hours to complete over gtalk and IRC. In
other words, conveying roughly the same ideas over text took about 8 times
longer than voice.
For the sake of keeping our synchronous meetings both brief and effective, I
feel strongly that we should pursue some voice communication system.

prefer skype, though if we are all on it would help to have a chair
and a text channel.
We need to decide whether the call is going to be recorded and or streamed.
Also before we decide to communicate in realtime as well as online,
can we establish whether there are common times when we are all
available? This shouldn't be too difficult if we don't have anyone
West of California or East of the Euphrates - are any of us in
Australasia, east or southern asia?

Just to say that I am not likely to be able to
participate in
voice/video conversations. I can try, but I am quite unsure about
being able to have voice connection because of internet access
quality. Nominally, it should work fine (ADSL 4Mbps/512Kbps), but the
connection quality is not perfect, at least in the sense of skyping.
Usually, I have a couple of interruptions during one 30-60 minutes
session, which is OK if it is one-to-one communication, but could be
very painful with many people in communication.
But, all in all, I don't have any strong argument against textual
skyping. I don't know how WebEx would work on my computer, while it
sounds interesting. And, of course, I prefer IRC.
