Agreed. The point is not to stop people asking questions all the time, it's to give them a time of the month when they can be sure to find people to discuss specific topics.

The problem is that 2-3 hours after meeting is way too late for people in Asia/Australia.

I don't think we'll be able to find a time slot that fits everyone.

One or two hours before Sunday meeting is good for me.

Screen captures/streaming would be nice, yes. I wouldn't say a must, but it's worth a try.

As far as recording logs goes, I could do that no problem.
