That's a good point - we would need a different agenda to focus the
meetings and help people decide if they should be there.

Yes, fair point - it's the wrong thing to do, and the wrong message to
send. Let's maintain it - we can certainly have anopther meeting re the
website redesign (Garrett's been working on a MediaWiki theme for a
couple of weeks now) and release management, as you suggest.
Yes, I'd rather not cancel the meeting (even if we just meet for 10 min
and decide that there isn't much to discuss today).
Dave, perhaps we can organize a different agenda for next week with some
of these other topics?
Mike
Cheers,
