Nick Petrie : Review: Live blogging Guild Council

Fair point on the photographs James however i think the audioboos might prove complicated and disruptive - deciding which speeches to cover (no need to do all the motion ammendment / procedual speeches) the phones mics aren't particulary sensitive. We could of course investigate an external mic but then money starts to become an issue.

On the minutes front i agree that it would only serve to increase the accuracy and reccords. However this brings up another point that I forgot to mention earlier - to what degree do we editorialise. Do we blog verbatim, or do we pass opinion / judgement on what goes on?

What would provide a richer / more relevant experince for those following?

Nick Petrie : Speak up - Audioboo

It has also been pointed out to me by @jameswilliams8 that you can also use phoneboo, for those who don't have a iPhone. This means you can register a phone to your audioboo account and record directly to audioboo.

This is a great point Laura and i suppose one of the best ways around it would be the dummies guide to Guild Council - it could be available on whatever page the live information runs off and there could be explanation of the terminology and procedures. We could also use whatever live blogging technologies we are using to clarify any events at GC. On Ed's point about the people not at GC - it might be just what is needed - removal of a barrier to entry for people to participate - people will be able to ask questions and make points / suggestions - something they might have been to shy to do in person.
