[Bf-committers] Weekly meetings and communication channels

[Aaron Carlisle]

I like the idea of moving the weekly meeting to Monday and alternating the
time.
As far as other forms of communication a definitely think that something
better needs to be done.
I like the idea of activity log, the forum would be hard to maintain a
could end up like:
https://www.blender.org/forum/ This would also be hard to use along side
with blenderartists.org
not to mention the fact that like blenderartists no one will like to go to
the forum.
