Yes, one of the takeaways from the Berlin meeting is that we will do weekly
(open) Google Hangout meetings.
If we come up with a better solution we can try to agree to use that
instead :)

There's a lot, and Tom is producing a document so I'd rather not replicate
his efforts here. All of the major items for the 1.0 release should be
captured, however.

I thought ticket triage was probably rather uninteresting to the majority
of people on the call, but we did knock out 20+ tickets in less than 30
minutes. Woo! If you think a ticket was closed in error you can always
comment and re-open the ticket.

I believe that anyone should be welcome to contribute to any Tor project.
The confusion (from my perspective) is regarding expectations of
availability, latency, and coordination between people working on the
project. Arturo and I observed that Jake and your contributions were
somewhat sparse and asked Tom to talk to you both so that we could figure
out what your intent was and what our expectations should be. My
observation was that both you and Jake have several other projects that you
are actively involved in and were consuming more time and energy than
anticipated.

No one (here) hates you Isis. I think the big problem was that the task of
coordinating 4 part-time developers in mostly different parts of the world
failed without a champion, and there were frustrations with communications
latency and reachability that made people grumpy and less enthusiastic
working with each other.

+1 if you wear a *pirate* eye patch :)
