I think it has a different purpose from what I'm after. The wordpress
site is the official face of the conference.

I'm just looking for a scratch space to use for stuff like:  keeping the
streamteam volunteers coordinated as to what we are doing and when; who
has agreed to work which talks; up-to date and easily editable
documentation of the hardware and software set up; TODO lists; meeting
notes; etc.

What I want is not meant to be something for the general public, but for
internal team management.

Yes, it's true, the past conference recordings have long needed some
attention, but that is not something I have time to be concerned about
at the moment. Though, I do hope to spend some time on it after LAC2008.
(of course I've said that every year, so we'll see ... ) I'm not partial
to any particular wiki. Any organization of this year's talks will be
better than what we've had in the past. All the better if we can make it
easier for people to contribute efforts. 

But, again, my main concern right now is a space to collect information
for organizing team members for the production of the conference
streams.

The talks schedule is here: http://lac.linuxaudio.org/?page_id=21

This is again not the immediate concern I'm asking about, but good to
discuss anyway. I would like to get the metadata out of the conference
management system to put into the streams and for tagging the files.

This won't be needed as we have use of a gigabit uplink in Cologne which
we've been asked to use as much as possible. So, no need to bother
Daniel and no need for relays this year.

Thanks Robin.
