UX team iteration planning meeting

[Colin Clark]

Kathy, Mike, all,

I hear you. I'll do my part to try to keep our meeting page more up to  
date. To this end, I've refreshed the meeting page with our latest  
meetings.

http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Meetings

We're moving towards one regularly-scheduled general UX meeting every  
two weeks, at which we'll do our iteration planning and take some time  
at the end of the call to answer questions and discuss our work. Of  
course we'll still schedule topic-specific meetings as needed.
