I like to see stuff pushed to the mailinglist as much as possible since
that means there is an automatic record and you can read/respond on your
own time.

The ui meetings are useful to explicitly focus on actual usage. But it
looks like doing that once a week is too much for all the feedback it
generates. It seems to take more than a week to actually change the code
based on all the feedback. So doing the ui reviews bi-weekly seems
better.

If we do want to have a phone meeting to sync technical,
who-works-on-what status reports than it seems a good idea to alternate
those on a weekly basis with a ui-review meeting to keep the meetings
short and focused. I kind of tune out after 30/60 minutes on the
phone...

Cheers,

Mark
