I suspect that moving to monthly meetings may be a good compromise. 

I also think the bitshares TV venue is better organized and presented.

I would like to know the reasoning behind why the mumble hangouts would be bad.

As far as I can remember it was mostly stuff on the blog, the forums and press quotes that caused pr problems.

Not only have some mumble sessions helped clear up a lot of issues, I also find the hangouts a better way to keep track of what's going on than trying to find the information spread out in threads on the forums.
That is also my impression!

I will continue reaching out to them.  If you have anyone in particular,  please list them.

Personally, Nikolai is the only other dev I'm aware of on these forums. I came here because of Dan and heard about Nikolai (toast) early on. I've seen others mentioned, but don't recall ever seeing or realizing one of them has posted here. So, I'd like to hear from anyone other than Dan or Nikolai (since I already know what their mindset is currently). I'm sure that's already happened, but I missed it and would like an updated interview with someone. That's my 2 bitSilver.

Along with the continued participation of bytemaster in the weekly hangouts, I would love to hear from many of the other core devs more often as well.

The openness of the dev team is what drew me into the PTS / BTS community.

A simple solution might be to just start talking about changes to DevShares instead of BitShares.  This gives everyone a chance to see if the radical idea's work or not.

Was DevSahres created to be a testing ground for new radical features for BitShares?  A simple solution might be to just start talking about changes to DevShares instead of BitShares.  This gives everyone a chance to see if the radical idea's work or not.

Yes of course they should continue, but I have no problem with his appearance being shorter and where he has a pre-arranged plan of what to say and then just take a few questions.  There doesn't need to be a long drawn out consultation every week, but hearing an update from him is good.

Is there any reason for them not to continue?

This.  Why wouldn't they continue?  I'm rarely able to participate but I really enjoy listening to the Hangouts.. it keeps me up to date on things that I've missed on the forum and it's a great outlet for the community to discuss ideas.

Said this in the other thread, but here is my reason:

Bytemaster's weekly hangouts is one of the things that sets this project apart in terms of transparency. I hope they will continue at least until we are clear of these early stages and we have a healthy base of users on the exchange.

Is there any reason for them not to continue? Has the PR manager made a ruling?

They have to continue, we need transparent information about what is going on, I have always found that the weekly hangouts are the best proof of transparency we have.
