We've been meeting on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 EST. Gchat has been used for no particular reason, although we're fond of a couple of features it has. I've actually been thinking than an IRC channel that's constantly up might work better for our meetings as well as a perpetual manner of communication and collaboration to supplement those meetings as well as our e-mail lists and other mediums. I'll ask a couple of our people about starting one up; I've used IRC before but don't know much about our options in terms of setting up a private channel.

Hi Barrett - I'm interested in all of it. I'd love to just listen in to the thoughts of the Science Journalism committee - those are very impressive minds! As for the evening Gchat... evening in which timezone? I'm based in Paris, so evenings ET can be a bit tricky for me. Not impossible, just tricky.
I'm interested in why you chose Gchat instead of a more open group discussion medium, like IRC. It would be easy enough to create a private channel...
Anyway I'm looking forward to the Africa discussion.
Thanks
