[Asterisk-doc] Suggestion: Weekly asterisk-doc conference - please read

[William Suffill]

might be better but i don't know how some concepts can be expressed in
text versus an audio dialog. Taking notes can be rather easy in an audio
conference if we do the following
Raise a question w/ possible options
Debate the question
decide on the conclusion and log that as the result of that order of
business

So the way i would see it is any issues raised over the course of the wk
on the mailing list or irc can be debated during the weekly conference 
then a ruling made. Kinda following the format of town hall meetings
where as all issues would have to be filled prior so an agenda can be
put together to avoid total khaos.
