Improving situation on mail list is the same as Peter mentioned as changing people. That is not going to happen.
The main problem is that we cannot have IRC meetings with world-wide participants. Nobody wants to stay up during night just to participate an IRC meeting.

2. Anybody can take the transcript and continue discussion of any topic here (of course too late for any decision that has already been made in a meeting)
True. I would appreciate if those transcripts/logs or a summary (if available) were sent by email. My experience is that your audience is much broader if you deliver the information by email - if people need to go to a certain website to look for the meeting minutes, you've already lost half of the audience.
To post transcript is minor problem, bigger is where. 1) opensuse is already overloaded and thread about meeting will make this worse, and probably get lost in the volume. 2) Is this list appropriate? Looking at the topic it is, but I can see many posts, and OT discussions, effectively trashing this list too. 3) New one called meetings? Can be this one made moderated? -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/MiniSUSE http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
