I would like to have versions of these that we can house temporarily on a server
here too, just in case we lose our connection. We should be able to put them on.
No one has to know where they are actually coming from at that very instant.

You will be getting the text from the MOO. Is that correct?

Glad to hear we will still have an MC. The possibility was raised that we would do
without him. George was not at the meeting. Is George still the MC?

FWIW--I think the MC there should be able to see, respond to, and visually cue
everything there and all your lines out. The AE MC is everyone's. But the MOO-MC
is the only person everyone can see. Is that right? How is the Stein Cafe related
to Sky Cafe? directly? ISDN? or via MOO?

For cueing whom? The Stein can also get its cues from MOO. Of course that depends
on what is happening there. As I am seeing it right now, the Station Manor will
receive MOO and whatever else we can get from Sky Cafe (negotiating for ISDN), but
you will come into a context there (Nelson) as the beginning and ending of a
series of otherwise unrelated live events. You don't have to worry about them.
People will come and go and might logon from time to time and hope to 'meet'
someone in the MOO. We can have a space on the MOO where that can happen without
getting in the way of people who are on the MOO trying to work. We have talked
about a newsroom. Something like that....

I like this.
