I'd like to have a weekly chat with LB5 testers in order to help move things along.
How many people would like to participate? What is the best day and time for people? What would be the best online chat forum these days? Or should we use Skype?

I would recommend Discord - discordapp.com. It's (IMO) easy to use, it's free, it can be private, it's not self-hosted, so you don't have to worry about one person needing to be online to start/run the chat/server, it makes direct and group communication easy, you can have multiple separate chat "rooms" per "server". It's advertised for gamers, but it's featureset is diverse and very useful. It can even be used directly from the website if you don't want to download and install the client. I'll even set it up. We can have a Liberty BASIC Discord server with an LB5 chat room/rooms, if anyone else thinks that's a good idea? As for availability, I'm usually free basically anytime on weekends, as well as every evening/late night. I can be available for responses during the day, but only if I'm not too busy at work.

please be specific on time (refer to GMT time etc). Just a thought. Yeah but we will also need to nail down the specific time for different cities because time challenged people like me will get confused by daylight savings, and the fact that live in EST and EDT simultaneously. How did this happen? I didn't even know there was an EDT until very recently. Those time people are sadists.

Given the world wide community Liberty BASIC serves a real time chat is perhaps inappropriate. A slower paced, but focused, conversation seems a better fit.
Not sure what is wrong with here when you apply that slower paced restriction.

Not sure what is wrong with here when you apply that slower paced restriction. This is to establish a dynamic that the forum cannot. I want to do this because it will help me, and if it helps me it will help the community. EDIT: The chat is intended to drive development forward, not to chat about ideas but to talk about what has been done since last week.

Works pretty well. Amazing what you can do in a web browser these days.

I will probably join in the chat ...
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are NOT great for me.

Discord doesn't like me "Something's going on here!" asking me to verify by phone I'd rather not to answer calls in foreign language so I think I abstain.

Well you do show up as a member, so maybe the call is not required. Of course it could be your long lost relative's lawyer wanting you to call to tell you that you have inherited 30 million rubles
they just need your bank details
