Aside from some of the normal technical issues we run into running so many collaborative web apps at one time I think last night was a good first Wednesday night session.  Some of the things we came out with:

• Always start your Skypecasts with visitors muted by default
• Everyone should take time to get familiar with their friendly neighborhood sound card settings
• We're going to set up a Moodle space under webcastacademy.com to help with the process of getting through the course requirements in a logical and organized manner
• Hosting a show is much easier when you have a partner acting as your "engineer"
• Susan did a great job!
