The discussion ranges from utilities through to the gnome components. The discussion has the following goals: -> focus on end user experience -> be focused - very limited topic list, shorter meeting -> have clear outcomes, and follow them through -> occasionally, the opportunity to explore new ideas At the moment I'm picking things driven largely by active work that I'm aware of. Going forward, I hope this will evolve into more of a weekly show-n-tell - an opportunity to highlight progress and gain quick feedback on new work. The discussion is proving to be largely non-technical. Elena is asking that there also be made available time where non user issues can be addressed: -> a free technical exchange -> co-operative planning and administration (At present there's an internal meeting that touches on this). There are several ideas to kick around: -> expand Wednesday morning's meeting to include other matters -> add a second weekly meeting -> Cycle the Wednesday meeting so that it alternates between user / technical / co-op focused -> have less regular technical/co-op focused meetings -> use mailing lists and irc for technical stuff -> ... I've two personal and strong preferences: -> not have too many meetings -> keep discussion focused, for instance, as been done with UI discussion Comments and suggestions. Andrew
