Did you see Greg's e-mail?
"Just bring a summary of discussion points back to the list, along with any
recommendations. The list can then sort through it and make decisions."
Decisions are not made except on the mailing lists. If it starts to seem that
people are being excluded from being an effective part of a decision process,
curtail or modify the back-channel communications.

FWIW, ApacheDS and Geronimo had (possibly still have) *very* active IRC
channels (logged) where people talked in real-time, just as they might at a
Hack-a-Thon.
