Just echoing the positive comments since the "show".  I watched the
youtube rather than the live session and it was really good.

The format is pretty much spot on to my mind.

Thanks everyone.

I like the slides in the stream, as it helps focus the watcher on key
messages.  That said I also had the luxury/ advantage of watching thr
recorded session so I had the slides locally and could really look at
the refined links from the etherpad.

No.

No.  

1) As I said above they're useful inline ; and
2) Producing them befoer the presenter(s) define what will be discussed
   and how during the hour.

I understand that there is having to do 'slideware' may deter potential
presenters, but I think they're valuable.
