I have a friend in the UK who I met on the forum a few years back who I often chat with via skype while I work in my lab. The sound q is perfect, I can here the birds singing outside his room and the cars go by.
It occured to me that it would be possible for the experienced members on the forum to give tutorials/lectures via skype that people could listen to and then at the end of the tute ask questions. It seems to me its a logical extension of the whole forum thing.
Dippy or Hippy or Manuka etc could say 'I'll do a talk on xyz this GMT time on Saturday". I would be happy to get up at all hours on the weekend to listen and learn. As far as I understand you can have multiple people on a skype conversation. Video could also be used to demo things if need be. Video eats up band width so for some people wouldnt want to use that.
Just a thought, has it got merit?
