Membership interview with the candidates - options

[Joly MacFie]

My suggestion would be a couple of conference calls with a) a predetermined
set of questions, and 2) some free q&a discussion.

Record the whole thing then edit in to several files and post on the wiki,
so that we'd have something like.

Question 1:  blah

Responses: Candidate 1 | Candidate 2 | ...

(where each response links to a mp3)

Discussions: Call 1 | Call2

(similarly)



I don't mind undertaking to record and edit. There should be a back up
recording just in case I screw up.
