beside testing the software we should tomorrow clear up some other things
as well:
1)
for announcement + information paper at the actual event (a special edition
of status quo) I divided the possible participation in 3 parts (see draft)
my question: what does the webaudience (audience who are not connected via
intenet phone) need? or should we tell everybody to get connected via
internetphone as well? does this make sense?

Using the medium of the Internet, translations of Homer's words in German

----------------------------
2)
where will the shockwave sites be situated? (that's what I should tell in
the announcement as well) which real audio server will we use?
3)
inclusion of the audience: lee had this great idea to have the audience
involved before the actual performance. how can we (technically and
conceptually) do this? the idea was to have a webcam (which I am not sure
yet, if we will have ...) and have comments + pictures of the audience put
on a website, so they could _see_ themselves involved.
Can we give them the same feeling if we connected them to the MOO before
the actual performance as well?
4)
at what point of the performance will we have which translations - which
languages will we use? (Jim , what can you provide?) do we translate every
sentence into all languages???? won't this be too long and boring??
looking forward for tomorrow :-)))))
