TC,

I can't make another regular call. I'd be ok with occassional tactical 
ad-hoc meetings on specific topics.

I do have a suggestion/hope:  Can we move more of the conversations to the 
wiki discussion tab, which will help greatly when we come back to discuss 
these issues. Or perhaps we can drive to a closure on some issues on the 
wiki itself. I think this would be more effective than adding another 
meeting...

- Mike
