I don't mind being the driver, I don't think we need weekly meetings
just yet. For me to decide on a time, I'd need to know people's
timezones though... So I made a dudle [1] of available times for [a]
generic week - Monday to Sunday.

Please put your timezones, and country you're in, in the comments?

Please note this won't be a meeting, just a general idea of when works
for people. So don't let specific commitments e.g. next week fool you.
These can also of course always be updated.

Please note the times indicated are UTC.

I think it depends on the issue at hand, both are good approaches.
