I was thinking this morning about the positive feedback coming from the remote participants and how the lightning talks are a great way to people working on emerging ideas. And I came up with an idea to try to replicate the experience online using one of those virtual classroom tools. I wrote up the idea on a Code4Lib wiki page and am looking for feedback (good idea? good idea with improvements? forgettaboutit?).

At the risk of hijacking my own proposal for a breakout session, I'd like to add this as a topic at the LYRASIS Open Source breakout this afternoon.
