Folks,
Although it's great fun to schedule a time for everyone to use
jabber together, there is nothing preventing our conducting exactly
the same style of process over email.
I know that might sound revolutionary, but it used to work pretty
well, before IM became popular.
This merely requires that we have a discussion 'chair' who
introduces the next topic, provides a bit of on-going oversight,
and declares a topic closed when it is.

We could also set up a separate, moderated list. The moderator could
fail to post off-topic messages. It would also permit those of us
with daft schedules and travel plans to participate.
The only issue I can think of is whether the protocols associated
with that have sufficient standardization. What if, for example,
someone were to send a forged message to the moderator.
Please? Could we? It seems to me that not only is Jabber something
that discourages participation, as it requires such a meeting to be
scheduled along with the rest of life, but it doesn't actually work.
I think a moderated DKIM-issues list might be the best way to handle
issues.
