One thing I want to toss out there -- would people be willing to try
having a meeting on IRC?

From my perspective there were two fairly major problems:
1. Difficult to understand some people on the phone
2. People talking at the same time.

It's possible #2 will get better, but with 20-something people on the
call, and a fairly large delay, my prediction is that it's always
going to be a problem.

Advantages of IRC:
- No "talking over" each other: two people can type at the same time,
and it's naturally separated into different chunks
- Easier to understand different accensts

Disadvantages of IRC:
- Have to type reasonably quickly
- "Anything else?" questions have to wait a lot longer

Another technical meeting I'm in we started with half phone, half IRC,
but pretty quickly switched to IRC-only, because it was more
convenient.
