Roundtable

• bsmedberg's weekly update webapp
  • A little, nice web-app to help keep track of what your team is doing
  • Some of the Thunderbird team gave it a shot
  • Most like the idea, but it could be improved (no links, wiki syntax, etc)
  • Might be a good way to keep folks in the loop without having to join the phone call
  • All in all, most agree that it's worth looking at some more, give it a try.
