That's a good idea -- I'm game to talk about WE -- assuming that I'm not
travelling and I'm sure that others will help out.
I assume that you plan to run multiple iterations of the course -- so
why don't you think about 3 or 4 key questions for each rep -- sort of
interview style that you can incorporate into the materials and also ask
the reps to record a short 1 minute audio intro. This way, in spite of
busy schedules you can still capture the thoughts of different
representatives from the wiki world and then rotate panel
representatives from each community for each offering of the course.
We conference can be difficult if you're planning to reach the globe --
Its been a challenge for us at WE -- but a well planed recording with
key questions which folk can read, and perhaps some asynchronous
interaction -- all doable.
Cheers
Wayne
