Are people interested in getting this going?
I could make us a poll to sort out how we're doing it. I like the idea
of subgroups - I think it'd be difficult otherwise cos we often have
subgroups having mini-conversations. That way we could also switch
between conversations at will.
I was also wondering if people might like to do these more often,
seeing
as we're all pretty much stuck at home for the foreseeable future?

I wonder if we could set up a WhatsApp group, and whether it could
split off into sub-groups for different conversations. We use it at
home, but only one-to-one so I don't know if this is possible. Think
I can link it from the small screen phone to my PC, but I haven't had
too much luck with that.
Also just saw a tweet for Zoom.us and my son says he has been using it
for his lectures as he is teaching from home at the moment. Once again
I know nothing about it.

Can I ask what we are trying to achieve here? Is it to have a full blown
video conferencing setup with multiple rooms for various conversation or
just somewhere on the web where can all join up and chat on a monthly
basis about what ever we want with various rooms for various chats? We
seemed to have moved from sorting out how to handle the next meeting to
comparing video conferencing.
Do we need to have the video aspect of it or is somewhere to chat more
important?
