This was something the Java team used to do long ago. We used to meet once a 
month and discuss what each was working on. How much time each felt they would 
have for Gentoo over the next month. We discussed common direction for the 
project and other things that really helped coordinate development efforts and 
make a pretty functional team and project. Sadly that ended.

I think that should be expanded as a require for a project. If a project is 
formed, it should be required to report on a monthly basis to the council. It 
does not have to meet monthly, but that is a good idea is will really save 
time in any reporting to Council. This does not require allot of time. It has 
many benefits not only within the project, but to the council and Gentoo.
