Happy to have you! There are now 18 of us!
I need an opinion from you guys. I am really leaning towards google wave as a way to communicate. Check out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKUAqNGVwX0 to learn more about it, but basically its a big discussion panel. Everyone in the group can reply/make changes to other peoples posts, which would be really cool for when say jerret helps emera, i can see the changes. Furthermore its live, so as you make changes or w/e i can track it. Another good feature is that the contact list is right on the side, so you can see who is online (you can also Private chat). However some drawbacks are:
-anyone can edit/delete information (if they are in the group)
-must have a gmail account (IMO thats a positive, but still)
IMO i don't think it will be a big deal if anyone can delete/edit info. I don't know everyone in the group, but i have seen posts by them and all of them seem like dedicated people.
