One possibility is to hold a discussion whenever there's a problem
that needs addressing.  The focus of the discussion would then be on
the problem, instead of a project (project talks could still happen,
of course, in some weeks).  Like the project talks (but unlike the
regular meetings), the problem talks would each have a single focus
(one problem).  So those who were interested could attend, and the
schedule could "roam" more easily to accomodate them, as Ed suggests.
