Tolkien Gateway: Meetings is an attempt which hopes to bring editors of the encyclopaedia into a monthly chat to discuss the progress as well as the future of the site. Meetings will take place on our IRC network and you can check the time of the meeting by clicking on a link to the next meeting below.
