We're thinking about setting up a regular chat, where all the visitors could meet, say, once a week, and talk together real time. What do you think could be a good time to do it? How often? I was thinking about Thursday or Friday every week at about 4pm GMT (11am New York), do you think this is a good time?

I like the idea, but I think if the chat is less restrictive more people will be able to talk about whatever they feel they want to talk about thus more interested in stopping by.

It will probably work best if a couple of regulars are online too. Chances seem to be best if it runs at office hours in the US

I don't believe that if I offered to meet all together at a specific time you wouldn't come. Please, give me a good time to make this regular thing going on... Rick?

A lot of us are scattered all over the globe and only log on now and then for a few hours at most. it would be hard enough to get enough people in one chat room at the same time and get them to chat about something and keep it interesting somehow.. also, i don't like the wtr chat software...

I logged into chat on a Saturday a few weeks ago but no-one replied - just floated out there by myself for a little while before eventually leaving. The time is good, but I prefer it on Saturday or Sunday while not being at work. I guess I'm not too keen about using the chat function at the job, so a time during the weekend should work out.

There is never anyone in chat room when I log on, so it would be nice to have a set time. How it would work with time zones I dont know but we should give it a go

At that time I am usually sleeping (9:00 am here), however, I suppose I could wake my lazy ass up in order to bicker childishly with vitalsigns in realtime . . .

You can start from technological research, explore new possibilities. It will be uncertain if your solution will actually work. If it does, however, you can create this extra value that makes your solution stand out. A poll will not help much if you're working in the second field: people base their opinions on what they know. You will need to experiment.

You can't expect me to agree with all your kooky ideas just because you're having my love child! How do we manage to always get so off topic? Um, yes . . . chat = good idea!

And a couple of people who have sufficient rights for that. Then it should be allright.
