Proposal: Collect questions for Q&A prior to meeting

[mikeal]

I'm not suggesting cutting the live Q&A but it would be good to collect questions from the community before each meeting as well. We could solicit them in the meeting Issue that gets created.

Any more thoughts/comments on #60?

Collecting questions in advance seems reasonable to me.

We can also solicit in advance via twitter and irc. SGTM

@mikeal I'm all for soliciting questions. Consider, however, since the beginning of the year, meeting issues have been created same-day. It isn't a reasonable amount of time.

Also consider that a GH issue could be opened to ask a question at any time. We all know I've utilized this ;)

As one of the few people that ask questions during meetings I can attest to how disparaging it is to have the comments part ditched and questions ignored. I don't find the tone at Q&A time very welcoming of feedback IMO. I'd rather see the live questions just go away- especially since I there isn't even an answer to my question about questions!

/cc @nodejs/inclusivity as it relates to the first item on their list of responsibilities.

Closing given that there has been no further discussion and activity on this. It is still likely something that we should do better at.
