Hi Barrett - 
I can set us up channels, no problem.  I would think we'd want up to two channels: a public channel for open discussion, and potentially a private channel if we want password-protected, administrative discussions separated from everything else.  For now, I've created #projectpm on freenode (irc.freenode.net).  Anyone can join.  Let's start using this!  

7:30pm ET is 1:30am for me.  I will try and make it but it will be a challenge to be consistent.  Is there any possibility of doing it earlier in the evening?

Campbell-

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
