Hi David!

Thank you for your suggestions :) More collaboration and communication
is definitely needed here. Conference is a good place for this, but
it's not something we can do very frequently, and many folks could not
attend (visa issues, etc.).

A bi-weekly/monthly series of meetings sound very appealing. Swap
contributors are very spread out (China, NorAm, Europe, etc.), so
coordination will be tricky, but let us figure out something.
