For the town hall, what about IRC or is that too esoteric for a lot of people? And when? I will absolutely make this happen ASAP if we can agree on a time and place.
IRC will just get nasty. At the very least, people can nick flood the channel.
Plus, given the #btcst-trust and other débâcles lately, it may be best to have an open, durable, but not real-time forum. Can anyone set up an AMA on Reddit? At least there will be the opportunity to vote down Hyde Reeses funfests and focus on specific, targeted, questions.
