While this is a good idea, I personally don't feel there are enough
"meat and potato's" topics to discuss that warrant something on the
scale of what the MOTU crew are doing. It may still be worth doing, I
just don't know how many formal discussion topics there could be. The
MOTU's have a LOT (relatively) to talk about compared to us. But none
the less, its still a good idea and worth trying (possibly on a
smaller scale (i don't know what that is yet)).
