Anyway, I would like to schedule some kind of online meeting. IRC is preferred by me, but Skype works also. If we can't find a single time when many people can attend, we could just schedule multiple meetings and expect partial turnout for each. We just need a way to discuss ideas for growth, concerns about current on-wiki events, etc.
I'd love to hear what other people think about this.
I'd prefer IRC to Skype for a couple of stupid reasons.
First, Skype is a pain to set up on Linux. It is incredibly difficult to get it to take input from a microphone.
Second, I don't like to run Skype at home because we use it extensively at work (chat mode), and whenever I "go online" I get a barrage of work-related messages.
