Ben, The rough idea that'll be announced tomorrow is that everyone verifies the MD5/SHA1 hashes to make sure you have the right, untampered document.
At 15:15, everyone meets and we go down the list from #1 to #8 saying whether the fingerprint is accurate or not, ticking the box if it is. If so, everyone has a peer at his/her ID and ticks that box if they so choose. A whole keysigning can be over in less than 5 minutes using this method, and thanks to the hashes, you don't have to have everyone reading their fingerprints out loud. It was introduced to me at FOSDEM a number of years ago and worked rather well.
