We're going to have a meeting today - it's been a while, and I've
missed the last couple of timeslots due to moving house and not being
set up for it.

The meeting will be a the usual time: 11am GMT (10pm Melbourne, 6am New
York, etc)

    That's the brutally early hour of 5:00CST, so I'll miss this one.  I
    would like to get a thread going, however, about documentation
    again, and the grand reunification with the source tree, as a
    recently rejuvenated discussion ("Unifying the Cyrus World") touched
    on in this list.

    I know I've been out of the loop a bit lately, but think I could
    start to pick things up a bit.  In particular, I think Patrick
    Goetz made an interesting point in a recent post in the
    Unification thread:

        case tutorial and then extrapolate to my own situation from
        there.  Way too many critical details end up getting left out
        when you talk about these issues absractly.

    (in the unquoted portions of the message) indicate that his comments
    and complaints have mostly to do with the older cyrusimap.org
    documentation, and not the newer work that Jeroen, Nicola and myself
    have worked on.

    In any event, if it's at all possible, could someone post minutes or
    notes from the meeting?  That was handy back when Bron (who has too
    much time on his hands ;-) was doing so.

Yep, I'll do that this week and we can set up a roster.


Cheers,
