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.
I would suggest, webex, Live meeting, Reddit or any other webcast technology. The reason why is that VOIP can be used so that answers that require complex explanations can be fully explained. I think typing out, the kind if inquiries that are likely to come across, may prove daunting and tedious, plus expose the answers to misinterpretation as so often happens with emails and forum discussions (as evidenced in this thread here)
