Yes, it was very useful, and although it took awhile to get focused,
my impression was that we were making progress and perhaps finally had
the ear of some that could assist in making changes. However, we didn't finish,
and the plan was to continue in the next week or two. Myself, I struggle with IRC
and am typically about 10 minutes behind.

Yes, it that was my impression also, and myself I see no other way to
interpret the log file.

Yes, they are from outside the Doc team. They are on the community council.
The same two were involved in the last Community Council check-in meetings.
I understand that they are very busy.

I did on 2016.04.06. I'm not going to bother again.

Notes were being made during the meeting in real time in the etherpad
thingy that David Planella originally setup for the meeting.
