I agree this is a particulary productive meeting and for the most part people plan ahead and add items to be discussed to the ajenda and we normally make good progress on most issues. The biggest issue is that a single hour is not often enough to cover all issues, and the exact time it currently is will not suit everyone (and i guess any other time will not suit everyone either), but instead of extending the existing meeting, is there a call for 1 more time slot? possibly at a completly different time so those who can't make the Thursday meet can make the other one? some of the power of this meeting is that its a single slot of time and this causes focus, additional time slots could dilute this? > - IRC: great for informal and quick discussions but *highly* distracting.

It can be distracting but I find it extreamly useful, tend to get real time discussions going over issues and can really get in to techincal issues with minimum overhead. Also useful as its exceedingly lightweight so can be left idling. Certainly the current snowglobe committers tend to idle there as well and its an easy way to get hold of each other.
