Yes and no. That's more or less 1:1 and you don't develop a feeling for what makes the quiet one sitting in the corner tick. The advantage of a gettogether is that you don't just see people when they are active but also get a feeling for how they react. The moments where you don't really need to say anything in order to communicate are a bit rare on the phone. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
