Irene -

As others have mentioned, there aren't really any formal times for
gathering on IRC. It's mostly a time zone issue. What I do is leave an
irc window open while I'm working on GNOME stuff. That way people can
find me if they need some to hash something out, and likewise I can find
them. We also gab a bit socially, which means if I *really* have
something to get done that requires a lot of concentration I don't IRC.
:-)

Malcolm's and Eric's point is a good one - it's prolly smart to post
something to the list if we actually raise an issue or decide something
that others would care about. I'll try to be better about that.

Cheers,
John
