You guys should start posting transcripts; it’s hard to quote audio.

we would, and we did for a while, but it is incredibly time consuming to do that (and we don’t own any voice recognition software). as much as it would be nice to have that resource available, I think the advantages of a transcript would be outweighed by the disadvantages of the time required to create one.

You mentioned an interesting panel about ArbCom in Wikimania 2006. Could you put up a link to it?
