I second that. Especially for the "Beginning Phase" face-to-face 
meetings are extremely important IMHO.

At the beginning of OLPC Austria for example we had weekly meetings for 
several months. That turned out to be a bit overkill at some point but I 
do believe it was very important in the early stages in order to build 
trust among the group, get to know everyone and also to really have a 
lot of time to discuss and explore ideas and stuff. (We're now down to 
monthly meetings with irregular work-sessions or a Saturday lunch 
whenever required.)

Just my 2 eurocents,
Christoph
