be a win for everyone?

</div>I don't have a strong personal preference, but I agree with Joe's
points about IRC. +1 for IRC meetings.
(And don't believe what you read on twitter - Betty White and IRC are both still alive
and kicking.)

"Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." ~ IRC
IRC is a good "low barrier to entry" technology: It operates reasonably
well over slow connections, you can easily get into IRC with any number
of clients across all OSes, and doesn't require any proprietary
software. Some or all of those criteria may not be important to you
personally, but they are important to others.
Also, we use meeting logging software that helps keep track of
minutes/action items, etc. That doesn't work with Google Hangouts.
Skimming the log of an IRC meeting is much easier than trying to skim
through a recording of a hangout (assuming you're talking about using
the audio/video and not just a group chatroom - but meetbot still
doesn't work with Hangouts AFAIK).
Other folks may feel differently, but -1 here.
Best,
jzb
