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.
