I was thinking we could use a status board to track the various
activities / objectives / threads. As part of the status board the
leader of each thread would provide a $time_interval update by a given
deadline, and the workgroup chair would collect them all and post them
(to a single email) on the ML.

The update could have predetermined sections: current status / progress,
assigned actions, open questions... If the open questions can't get
solved in the ML thread resulting from the $time_interval update, *then*
schedule an ad-hoc discussion on #openstack-swg between interested parties.

In terms of tooling, we can start by using a wiki page for tracking and
updates snippets. We can use framadate.org for ad-hoc discussion scheduling.

Combined with extra activity on the channel, I think that would preserve
all 3 attributes of the meeting (especially the $time_interval regular
kick in the butt to make continuous progress).
