I agree with Francesco that having consistency in the meeting dates will
help participants remember, and plan to attend.  With regular meetings also
comes the ease of advertising those meetings to would-be participants.

By having a tighter schedule (every two weeks) we can ensure that if you
miss a meeting, or one is canceled, you will not have to wait very long to
address a topic in that forum.
