I think it would be useful to gather all packagers together and have a meeting. I think this would help maximize our efforts and help out new comers to opensuse packaging. Maybe once a week on Wednesday. ... Last night made me think about this. I packaged up the new gimp 2.6 for factory and submitted it (which took some time to get everything together). It was rejected because someone else already had done it. If I had known that someone else was working on it, I could have put all of that effort into another package.
I think that's a great idea. I also observed when several people worked together trying to package a component for mouseTrap, only to discover that after all their work, they realized someone else already did that component.
But in both cases a mail to opensuse-packaging "Is anyone working on XYZ" would have worked as well, right? I'm not saying a regular packagers meeting is a bad idea, but I think to avoid duplicate packaging work, there are better means of coordination that having to wait six days till the next meeting ;).
