I also would like to see a channel specifically for the back-channel but 
it is not completely necessary. I will ask that if we do go this route, 
instead of the pm route, that the channel be posted clearly at the 
beginning of the meeting and also in a message to the mailing list. 
Please do not leave me out in the cold as to which channel I need to 
search for whether it be #meego or a dedicated channel.
