[documentation] Docs Team meetings/group was: Proposal for a "Contributing to Drupal" handbook section

[Mike Booth]

Uh oh. I apologize for accidentally opening up the mother of all  
ratholes! I just wanted to make sure that I was spamming the *right*  
list with my availability announcements. :)

I have no actual opinion on where we should organize. This doc mailing  
list is just fine.

And I think the idea of having occasional group chats, without the  
overhead of a strict schedule, is also just fine. I would encourage  
Jacob or add1sun to shout out a time for later this week, and I'll try  
to be there with whatever ham-handed advice I can come up with. Those  
who can't make it can always make the next one.
