Maybe it's a stupid question, but I assume this is happening on the IRC 
channel?   And that I can get the connection info off the website somewhere?

I'll be at work, and my boss and my only other collegue on my team are 
both on holidays, so I probably will be running around like mad.   If 
I'm at my desk, I'll definitely sit in - probably won't be able to be 
very active.

Can I suggest we set up a page on the wiki for meetings with meeting 
logs and times and so forth?

Definitely agreed - maybe all of this exists in someone's head right now 
(Larry?) but it isn't well documented or communicated on the web site 
--- at least not anywhere I could find.

Since I'm probably not going to be there - my current big pain point is 
the lack of any real searching capability.  I've got about 6k images, 
and I've got most of them tagged pretty well.  The big weakness is 
finding the set of images I want to see.   I'd like to be able to create 
and save searches like "((Tags contains good) or (Tags contains very 
good)) and (Tags contains parrot)  and (Date is within the last six 
months)"   This would definitely get my vote for inclusion in the short 
term plans.
