You make some good points.  I guess it would only work out if there
were someone really enthusiastic who had the equipment and time and
expertise to do things.. but yes, even then it might not be a
spectacle worth the effort.  =/

The only other alternative is to have a straightforward only
vaguely-edited lecture-style video which focused on the
presenter/speaker.  This way we could skip most of the concerns about
the general shyness of members in the audience.

Of course, the speaker would need to repeat some of the questions, as
one of my issues with such a thing is that the filming doesn't usually
pick up on the audience's questions of discussion.

We could serve such a thing out via bittorrent and not worry *too*
much about bandwidth..
