Frank,

so far there was no meeting. Some members are unable to enter into IRC
(that's why I was suggesting that OSGeo offers the CGI-IRC client to all
project channels). Same thing for Skype (forbidden in various institutions).
But the real problem is the low interest of most people who have been
pushed into the GRASS PSC... :-(( But to not offend anyone: the momentum
in the GRASS project is pretty high, new bugtracker forthcoming, new
release almost done, new people arriving, grass.itc.it is consuming

I have updated at least
http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/GRASS_Project_Steering_Commitee#Status_September_2006

The RFC-1 was discussed very controversal, opinions were orthogonal.
Let's see if we can fix this. I cc to all PSC members.

@GRASS-PSC: should I create a dedicated mailing list to get communication
archived?

Best regards,
Markus
