As you may recall, we've been having weekly "town meeting" chats
	in the MOO discussing building the Phoenyx community. Volunteers
	and potential volunteers are encouraged to attend.

	I've elected myself "official reminder" and want to remind
	folks that these meetings are 1) a lot of fun, and 2) very
	important to what happens at the Phoenyx.  If you want to have
	input into the future, this is a good opportunity to make
	your voice heard!

	Last week's meeting (August 29th, 2001) we discussed some
	of the following topics:

	* The next newsletter.
		- What should be in it?
		- What shouldn't be in it?

	* The current "new-game" slump.
		- Who should be recruiting new gamemasters?

	* Discussing job titles and responsibilities with the Phoenyx.

	* Irreverent items (as per always) on cars that gamers
	drive, and is there a marketing niche, my eye colour, and
	if it's funnier when Satchel says it related silliness.


	Next Wednesday's agenda (9/5/01)
	
	* Phoenyx etiquette:
		- The ground rules.
			- Encouraging lurkers to kibitz without
			  encouraging mayhem.
		- Adult content policies.
		- Good "anti-flame" rules for the discussion lists.
		- Turn language and standardizing player post formats.
			- Creating a default
			- Using things like pbemtools.

	The chat starts in the Phoenyx MOO at 8:30p.m. Central time,
	which is 7:30pm Mountain, and 9:30pm Eastern. We leave the 
	Pacific Timezone to figure it out as an exercise for the
	student.  For our European (and farther) staff, we will be
	trying to schedule another Saturday meeting for this weekend
	(September 8th, 2001) if we have enough interest.
