Good archive. many thanks.
I made some suggestions elsewhere for webcasts, which I copy here:

agree with you that the webcast opportunity also imposes some responsibility on the broadcaster. I suggest at a minimum a four point code:

1. Have a Ticker tape announcing what is happening real time in the auditorium so we are not left wondering if there is no audio or the program is held up etc.
2. Place the camera at a vantage point WITHOUT obstructing or inconveniencing those sitting in the audience..physical attendees are more important that web attendees,
3. Cover the entire ensemble with good focus and zoom and lighting. Pan and zoom if there are speakers, or important interactions taking place with the audience.
4. Take a live line-in audio feed. Do not compromise on audio - after all it is not bandwidth heavy.
5. Bonus point - for quality if webcast audio is more important. Later you can archive a higher quality (HD) video, but livecast should optimises audio and if necessary use a lower resolution (480P or 360P) video.


Anyway thanks all folks like Parivadini, Shaale, etc, etc who have done a great job so far of livecasts.

Let me add the ARTery to this list.
And by the way, for whatever reason, the initial minutes had poor audio quality especially for Sowmya's voice.

I wish ARTery all the best.
