Compared to the age of the team we have not been running meetings very
long; it's only recently gotten to the point I worry about the meeting
being a waste of time because so few attend (or self-admittedly
'half-attend.') If it's not fun we shouldn't be doing it, I think; if it
was fun attendance would be higher, I think.

If we are having (weekly | biweekly | monthly) meetings then what should
we be using them for?

Maybe we could have a weekly gathering time, but rather than running a
formal meeting we can just schedule it as a kind of social hour you can
show up to if you want a critique or feedback on a design? So if you can
only make it once a month, no problem. But you don't need to be there to
keep up or to pose a question or to give your status; you can feel
comfortable doing so on the mailing list at your own pace instead.


a social hour is the same that a meeting, ask people to gather at a particular hour might be the problem. Other idea is to set up days where people can hang at any-time. gnokii, elad and even myself now that I got time and internet are pretty much always at the IRC channel helping people and chating, So a day can be set down completely where, if there are special things to be reminded or set up, a wikipage call -agenda- can be set where this doubts, ideas or anything can be placed, and then someone at the end of the day (I can do it) send that -agenga- to the mail, to be discussed as the "weekly discussions" instead a weekly meeting.

That will not only give free of time for our team, but also will help us to expand our meetings, include those who not even can login into IRC (I was one of those) and why not, give us a bit of time to think our answers, find more resources and google more ideas :)
