[OSList] What is the sweet spot for Online OS using video chat?

[Birgitt Williams via OSList]

Hi Lucas,
not sure to what degree you are trying to reinvent the wheel and to what
degree you are building on incredible work done by others who invested lots
of money, time, and emotions to figure out how to work with OST in an on
line environment.

And so I want to draw your attention to these great people...some of my
favorite people in the world...it is possible, if you contact them that a
worthy collaboration might result....or maybe not....depending.

developed
by our dear friend Gabriela Ender and her team took years of development.
It is an award winning software.
It is fact that in those days, such a development took a lot more  time and
money than it might today with the advancements in technology. I
continue to admire the work of this team and what they brought out into the
world.

Collaborativeways.com also have a great offering. Created based on Open
Space Technology, our dear friends Richard Schultz and Eiwor Backelund have
figured a few things out.

The added element you want of the scope of video chat capability is
possible with today's technology. If you want the simplest online Open
Space experience that is not OST...I think the www already offers that as
any of us can jump around from topic to topic to our heart's delight. And
so I ask you a question Lucas...what is it you are really wanting to
create?
