All right, I see the point, cross posting does not seem to be very 
useful, devel@ or meetingminutes@ seem to be more appropriate way.

However, that's actually what we do already and I feel like it does not 
work very well. People need to pay attention to catch the meeting 
minutes they care about and since there is no summary of what is 
happening beyond meetings (on the group's mailing list or even any place 
else), it is almost impossible to stay tuned for non-members.

Just going back to the original idea -- my goal in the first place was 
to have a simple way for everybody who is interested in what working 
groups work on to learn about that quickly. Bringing this message to 
other groups directly was supposed to prevent people to forget staying 
tuned.
