Well I think regularly scheduled IRC meetings are a good idea, as for some smaller decisions quick brainstorming tends to work better than long e-mail threads.

I agree it could be wise not do any more changes of the scale of ultraprune before 0.9, to give some stability to fix the kinks in the current version.
