Great

The content was awesome.
Figure out how to have a moderator. People are
Interrupting each other . One guy was
Breaking up continually .

Comment #2 posted on 2014-01-09 16:00:15 by Ken Fallon

It's not my fault !!!

Hi Ed,

People are interupting each other because we are all calling in from around the planet. While mumble is good, it cannot compensate for the speed of light, and so two people on other sides of the globe both speak at the same time in what to them is a vacant space. Not a lot you can do about it.

I would be very reluctant to have a moderator as it would interrupt the flow.

We could however set some guidelines for talking, eg keying up, so that others know you wish to talk. Also training people that a silence is ok for a while as it will be removed automatically in the post recording.

Ken.
