It might be nice to have a permanent-ish "hangout" chat. Some of us get to leave the house for work but I imagine for a lot of people it's rather dull at home!

Since in-person meetups aren't an option at the moment, I've started a discussion about taking meetups online: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:UK_Wikipedians%27_notice_board#...
