As I mentioned before, I think putting together an FAQ (is it an or a?) is a smart idea. It's not only helpful for the reader, but as Barrett mentions is helps to provide better clarity of our own thoughts.

With that said, I just finished my exam yesterday. It was brutal, torturous, and I'm fairly certain, unsuccessful. I'm now in a cool down period and will hopefully be a hotbed of ideas again soon. One of the things I will focus on is coming up with questions.

Please note that I plan on making a blog post soon with something that sadly came to mind while trying to fall asleep. While I will stick to my guns on the reasons behind what I wrote, disagreement is encouraged, especially if it yields a better approach/system.

Absolutely. It might indeed be better if you provide some of the questions (I do have a couple assembled that I've received from other participants in preparation for a FAQ) as it's more difficult for me to know what the less well-explained parts are since I've got it all jumbled in my head anyway. Videos are a bit easier for me as I spent most of my day manipulating text in some form or another and they make for a nice change of conceptual pace, or something. Also I just got a decent haircut so I look less like some crazy messianic nut who's trying to get everyone to join his secret club, but not so much less to be entirely uninteresting. Send along whatever questions you think most bear addressing for our participants and I can make that video immediately thereafter.

To be responsive to MohKohn's and Jeremy's  comments under "Why the Africa Project" in the blog maybe we should consider a video just for the Workshop PM audience (I'm assuming a video is faster than writing).

The second version of the AllahPundit video did have a nicer delivery, so maybe it would be good to semi-script the video by assembling in advance a list of questions about the media reform project, and then you can answer the ones you want to.  Scott and I could suggest some questions, and/or we could solicit questions on Workshop PM.

Q and A's from the Workshop PM audience might also be useful in discovering points that warrant discussion in the manifesto.
