Re: [humanmarkup] Fw: Chat Room

[Ranjeeth Kumar Thunga <rkthunga@humanmarkup.org>]

We haven't confirmed the situation with About.com yet about the chat room
and the fact that a few of us (myself included) will not be able to
contribute in the TC much during the next two or three weeks.  Thus,
cancelling our meeting for November and instead have a year end wrap up
meeting in December makes the most sense.  Our remaining time in 2001 can be
allocated for honing our documents to an adequate level for outside
presentation.

Nonetheless, we will still have a trial-run meeting to test out chat as soon
as we hear.  Either myself or Rex will keep you guys posted.
