I like the idea of the podcast. It would allow regular attendees lookup old questions, and cautious geeks feel out the club. It would also allow those of us that can't attend a chance to learn from the group.
The podcast could be delayed until a week before the next meeting. This way the information is still be available, but it would seem like an archive instead of a replacement. (Imagine the delay between Movie theater release and DVD release.) It's appearance would also act as a reminder that a meeting is just a week away.
It would also be nice to see meeting notes. That way those out of attendance could see what we are missing. Those in attendance could get links, config files, and all the trivial details that end up being critical.
