Benjamin,
I'm new to this list, so apologies if this has already been done/talked
about. Why not start out with a regular text-based conference? Its
easier, cheaper, and presents a small steps approach to learning what
technologies work for this forum. There is software available to set this
sort of thing up on the Web, which makes it easy to use. I have wanted to
propose this to AOM Online, perhaps we could prototype it for learning-org
first? If you want more details, let me know I will forward a note I have
about the software.
