[03:58] <svaksha> hi, is there a MT meeting scheduled this week?
[03:59] <mdke> "I suggest its better to amalgamate the Magazine and UWN with the
[03:59] <mdke> Fridge as the publishing space, instead of creating seperate projects
[03:59] <mdke> which essentially carry similar messages. </end thinking loud> "
[03:59] <mdke> SPOT ON
[04:00] <svaksha> to be fair,  Sara has put in effort so I dont want to discourage people who take an initiative.
[04:01] <mdke> right, it's important to recognise the efforts made but ensure that the enthusiasm is getting guided in a direction that is going to produce a good result
[04:01] <svaksha> but then its not a 1-person project so she does need help
[04:02] <svaksha> mdke: i agree
[04:03] <svaksha> maybe it will be easier to understand if proposals were submitted to the list for discussion first , as IRC is not timezone friendly
[04:03] <mdke> definitely
[04:04] <svaksha> most meetings are held past midnight (my local time) so I do prefer the mailing list
[04:05] <matthewrevell> svaksha: The magazine project has been carried over from the time where the team was split between the mailing list and some privately held forums
[04:05] <matthewrevell> Those forums were taken offline, as part of a dispute
[04:05] <matthewrevell> So, we can't see what the original rationale was.
[04:06] <svaksha> yes, I saw some rumblings but surely we can leave that behind and get ahead
[04:06] <matthewrevell> Well, yes, of course, but I was making the point that the magazine was discussed on forums, not on irc.
[04:06] <svaksha> at this moment if we can find a middle path it will be nicer
[04:06] <matthewrevell> A middle path?
[04:06] <svaksha> ahh...ok, i am not a forums person :)
[04:07] <svaksha> i mean find a way to avoid overlap and keep it together instead of rejecting the idea totally
[04:08] <matthewrevell> If people want to create a magazine, then they're free to.
[04:08] <matthewrevell> It's probably a better use of their time and energy if we all work on one thing, though.
[04:09] <matthewrevell> If we can encourage people, through the mailing list, that we should help with UWN and the Fridge, then that's probably better idea. *Unless* the magazine guys can show they're catering for a different need.
[04:09] <matthewrevell> as I say, people are free to do as they please.
[04:10] <svaksha> from the wiki I found Sara as the lead and she does have 3-4 people working on it but its not clear  so I cant really say anything
[04:11] <svaksha> i read the wiki and specs on LP
[04:14] <svaksha> ok, I will post a message tonight on the list about bringing the magazine and UWN together on the Fridge.
[04:14] <mdke> you just did :)
[04:15] <matthewrevell> svaksha: I'm sure it will :)
[04:16] <mdke> things tend to
[04:23] <svaksha> bye all..
