Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] [Brainstorming] XWiki Office Hours?

Hi, I find the idea to be very interesting. For example what I could do is set up a session and demo a bit the prototype for one of the proposal I make. Seeing a demo could be more easy to digest than reading the proposal, although I try to be as short as possible and include as many mockups as I can :) For example one candidate for such a session would be the Flamingo Skin http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Skin4x Since the hangouts are recorded I could go over the verbal feedback and take notes(because the written feedback mails would be missing). The feedback could be from a development or usability perspective. Discussions about development issues would go in the same way. We could also hold votes meetings (if is the case) and discuss our opinions until we reach a conclusion. Sometimes is easier to talk than to write. GSOC students could benefit from having an introductory session with the devs. Q/A from community members would be kind of interesting for the users, but could get easily get out of control (depending on the number of participants and how generic/specific the questions would be). Having to wait in line to get your question answered is not that interesting. Another idea related to hangouts would be stream our july Hackaton. The IRC/mailing lists are a great place to discuss and have your questions answered, but the video/demo/talk/pair-programming/hangout idea could be interesting for certain use cases. What I would like to know if other members of the community (beside the committers) would be interested in such things.
