Even just asking takes time, and the odds are we won't even get three set up. I strongly recommend asking for three, and being ready to make do with two. This is a test, a first run, and shouldn't be more ambitious than we can deal with. Getting the technical kinks worked out is the first order of business, IMO, so as long as we have at least two, so that we can work out the logistics for more than one two-way remote, we'll be accomplishing all that we can really pretend to do this first time. > I'll defer to public comment.

If we don't, then I'll start contacting people personally and urging them to participate. But this time around I think we'll end up having to make do with whatever we've got, and be happy for it, rather than trying to pick and choose too much. And we're in no position yet, technically or otherwise, to be trying to set up many remotes. > Well, since this is going out to public lists, it's now a public > request.

Perhaps you could write up a short tech requirement spec sheet, which we'll distribute, specifying minimum PC and server requirements (CPU speed, RAM, PC-to-Realsever distance, bandwidth, etc.). Also: Can Berkman supply software? I'm adding some mailing lists to the addresses (ALCI $ ENREDO, the Latin American lists, as well as the IFWP, AIP, IETF, and TERENA lists). Any further suggestions on how to advertise properly will be appreciated. Also, I've given this a name - the Remote Simultaneous Translation Project (RSTP) - so we'll all know what we're talking about, okay?
