Sure - but still, the nations in question are still much larger than
Malta, so a meeting is a semi-big deal and you have to plan for it a
bit more than in Malta, where everybody just goes to a café which is
pretty close to everybody. Also, the meets were only recent concepts
in those cases, whereas on mt.wiki the idea arose almost instantly.

This is one of the disadvantages that en has

donate a huge amount of money to sponsor a conference where the travel
for them is paid!)
Meets have made the UK side of things feel slightly more cohesive. Though it
would be Bad for it to fall into national clumps.
