I think it is an awesome idea Lucas and you can count me in! I have been hankering for a 24/7 Online Open Space for a while : )
Personally I am fine with you using the term "hotline" - perhaps there is a way to integrate the efforts? We just want to make sure not to confuse folks. Also, I think it would be cool to allow people to connect in groups 24/7 as well if that was their preference, or if they were open to more than 1 person connecting - is that possible and/or within the scope of your vision? I look forward to seeing this evolve!
