[Project-managers] [Coin-tlc] BSP 2009

[Laszlo Ladanyi]

The history is a strong point... but having to email everyone when you 
want to join... At the very least should keep an irc channel open 
where people can request to be added.

But I do agree that Kipp will be glad if he does install skype :-).

Cheers,
