My company is doing a big conference this summer & I tried to talk someone into doing open-captioning - it's helpful for the hard of hearing and non-native speakers of English, they can presumably be downloaded on the spot to ipods and laptops, plus you've got all those text files for the writing of abstracts. I think he wants to record and podcast, which is fine, but sort of misses the point on another level. Oh well. Accessibility is one of those things people still need to put conscious thought into.
And if there *are* recordings from your panels or Yin's other craft panels, I'd be happy to pay for a set.
