I appreciate the difficulties of working with a world wide audience, but
please remember that for some us, the chosen time is not very
appropriate (it's 0200 on a workday for me, for example). This is _not_
a criticism, but it would be nice to work around it somehow.

In light of this, could there be minutes taken (just an irc transcript
would be good) and then another meeting held _at a different time_
(twelve hours later, just to be fair?) so that others can also
contribute? I guess you would like to avoid having infinite rounds of
discussion here, but cutting out half the planet on the the one and only
round also seems a bit lame.

Cheers,
Malcolm
