With IRC you could miss a conversation. Teamchats allow to browse and even search the entire chat history. Also they include integrations to github and others. It's just more comfortable.

Being to busy is no excuse for important things like this, b/c we're wasting lots of time on this.

Meetings are easy, due to the different timezones synchronous meetings will hardly work, but an asynchronous meeting on a mailing list does. Which also comes with the usual e-mail benefit, people think a lot more before hitting send.

Basically a biweekly sprint meeting to plan our trello board and discuss other stuff would suffice. http://forum.dlang.org/post/55586D5B.8020800@dawg.eu

A biweekly meeting would be great. -- Andrei

We still use that as the basis, but as you see people way too little about those tools.

My preferred tactic is to start writing a heated email in response to some comment, or some commit, or some pull request.  But instead of hitting send, I stop, print it out, then discard the draft.

Excellent tactic and you are in good company with that strategy: http://tommykiedis.com/the-letter-lincoln-never-sent/
