I just wanted to add that UDS sessions can still be a good opportunity
to discuss these, even if many doc team members cannot physically make
it there. We've got IRC for the particular session projected in every
UDS room and in addition sound from the rooms is also streamed.

What I'm trying to say is that if the topics deserve a team meeting (or
more than one), why not make such meetings coincide with UDS sessions
for each topic? The only downsides I can see are that the sessions are
during the week and on CEST time, but I'm not sure how much of an
impediment these can be. 

I can add some proposals for docs teams sessions related to translations
as I did last cycle [1], and if you guys are interested, we can discuss
them here before scheduling them.

Out of interest, why do you think there not so much docs team presence
at UDS historically? Is it just lack of time, unavailability to
travel/take time off work? Do doc team members know about the
sponsorship process and try to apply for it? 

Regards,
David.
