So as the most of us are already meet on on our IRC channel, I would suggest to meet there as a fall-back.
Would you please clarify if you intend to meet on IRC (i.e. no phone conference call at all), or if you only intend to fall back to IRC in case your phone connection becomes flaky?
/me personally prefers IRC-only meetings, as they are likely to be more productive and to the point.
Unfortunately, I have a different opinion about that one. Text-based communication tends to be very chaotic and moderating is neither improve productivity nor is there a good way to actually do this.
While IRC works great for up to three people, 10 people writing all at once is asking for trouble.
Moderating the channel to only have one person at a time as the active speaker (minus the moderator) will put stress on people and they even tend to forget what questions they had in the first place. Further, this way, no (constructive) input from other people can be handled in real-time.
An IRC-only meeting can be easily posted to the x2go-project ML after the meeting.
That's a valid point and an advantage of text-based communication... But I doubt people will want to dig through pages and pages to count of unfiltered IRC logs.
