I wouldn't expect there to be many real-time CO's, either. Once a month would be fine with me, at maybe 1-2 hours? Maybe structure them so the first hour is serious information time (maybe with pre-posted questions?) and the second hour (or 1/2 hour, etc) is question and answer? Questions that need further elaboration, and demo obects/techniques that are dicussed during a CO could be uploaded soon after the CO? This all assumes that many are willing to serve as an 'expert' from time to time to discuss various issues, do some homework to get answers, and put them in some form of presentation form? What does everyone else think? –jp–

John – Since there seems to be a lot of interest in Silver/Imagine, perhaps we can get the sysops to dedicate a forum & library in Arts specifically for that. They have one for ray-tracing and one for animations, but perhaps a program-specific one would be appropriate for what you (plural) would like to do. It can also be specifically ignored by those that aren't interested. This would allow the 'experts' to research & answer questions at their convenience, and allow someone who can't make the COs to see all the questions and answers anytine he wants (but then, everyone knows how forums work so why don't I just shut up now … 8^) ). The above opinions are my own and not necessarily those of any other entity, intelligent or otherwise, in the known universe … Harry

Harry: While I think it would be to Impule's advantage to "host" such a group (i.e. whenever someone in any other AmigaForum asked a question re Silver or Imagine, the sysop would say "Hey, quick as a bunny go over to the Impulse section of AmigaVendor — they have a whole users' group going over there!"). However, if AmigaArts was the right place, within the Ray-Tracing section, we could ask the sysops and user group members to ALWAYS include the words Silver or Imagine in their title lines. That way, folks would always know a thread was specific to one, or both of those pieces of software! ?|^] Ray Lewis
