Well... Since this is a user group and not a business, I don't think any of us
could 'assign' something to anyone else.<grin/>

The main thing I am looking for is anyone with any experience in this kind of
technology. (Or failing that, anyone who knows someone ...)

Chuck is probably right that this would really be useful for the group.
Recording the sessions and posting the audio might be a good first step, but
real-time (with archives) would be much cooler. A virtual meeting would make
it easier for those who don't live near the HAL-PC headquarters to
watch and maybe participate.

I guess I could look into recording the audio and putting it up for download.
That would at least give us a start.

Any other ideas, resources, or experience?

Thanks,
G. Wade
