This came up in today's project planning meeting. How do folks
feel about
moving the project planning and future board meetings to IRC?
The advantage of IRC meetings are that the full meeting minutes can be
posted in a public archive. It's significantly easier for many folks to
participate in IRC meetings.
I think the only downside would be if anyone involved is uncomfortable with
using IRC. Using IRC for regular meetings certainly doesn't preclude having
occasional phone calls if necessary.
The only other downsides I've heard voiced (having just gone through
this debate elsewhere):
1) typing == slow for some folks
2) inevitible overlapping conversations
3) more consuming than phone (harder to do 2 things at once)
4) can't do from airport/kitchen/car/...
