I am interested in continuing as well.
Regarding the perceived quietness, I can think of two things:
One is that the #fedora-workstation irc channel isn't working very well
since everybody is using the #fedora-desktop channel instead for
everyday communication. Might make sense to officially ditch
#fedora-workstation?
Another thing that makes it seem quiet is that we don't have regular
weekly meetings. Other teams are doing those and it seems to be a good
way to show the world what is going on in the WG -- with meeting status
reports and all that stuff.
If I remember correctly the reason the workstation channel was established was to have
the channel on the same IRC server as the rest of the working group channels,
since the fedora-desktop channel is on Gimpnet.
