We got 6 people listed. Time to start planning! -- Kim Bruning ( talk) 19:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
While IRC seems like the best approach, a few people have expressed concerns that it will be technically difficult or require special software. I thought that I might set up a web interface so that people can just open up a browser window and chat away; I have one such already, it would be easy to add this channel to it or create another entirely separate one. For now I will assume the channel is called #en-wikipedia-lectures on freenode (i.e., [1]), but of course this is easy to change. -- tiny plastic Grey Knight ⊖ 08:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Is my proposed first lecture date.
I've also submitted a CFP proposal to do a lecture at wikimania.

I'm going for Sunday April 6, 15:00 UTC, since that covers a large part of the globe that will be awake at that time. Any Ozzies or Kiwis have a problem with that time? Anyone else want it to be earlier or later? -- Kim Bruning ( talk) 18:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I suppose we're going to have to do some spamming :-( -- Kim Bruning ( talk) 12:08, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
To use Skype, download it from this website. If you want to talk, it is best to use a headset; otherwise you can just listen over speakers. if you want to record anything on Skype, I would suggest installing Pamela, which is found under the Tools menu of Skype. User: Private musings uses Sound Forge which has the website to convert mp3 files that have been recorded by pamela to ogg files.
Once you have Skype, pick a user name. Tell Kim Bruning what it is so he can add you to a text chat on Skype and then we can set up voice from those in the chat. -- Filll ( talk) 23:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Just a suggestion, but to engage the attention of those browsing, it might be a good idea to name the various lectures and give a brief summation of topics covered. The headings, for example, could be altered from "Lecture X: Now complete" to "Lecture X: Mediation cabal, coverage of science on Wikipedia, and WP:Silence". The page as it is currently presented does not really draw the reader in. Best, Skomorokh 13:05, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I propose that we do not use Skype anymore. I for one will not be. Its been discussed here specifically and I tend to agree. I'm not just being overly paranoid here. SynergeticMaggot ( talk) 02:21, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Is this project still alive? I am interested in participating if it is. User:Pedant ( talk) 21:43, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
