RE: [Phpwebsite-developers] Communication

[Jeremy A. <ja...@tu...>]

On the topic of hosting services thank you all for offering.  I do not want 
to step on anyone who has offered and/or has it already setup.  I can set 
up any GPL package we may need on one of our servers at Appstate.  That way 
we do not have to go to sprat places for different services.

On the communication part I believe IRC is a good way to go for certain 
events. A IRC meeting would benefit us so we can all talk real time about 
developer info.  That said we all live around the world and for all of us 
to show up at once is a big deal.  This is why i say we only do the IRC 
stuff once in a while and we user the mailing list most of the time.
