[TriZPUG] PyCon 2010 Video Upload Complete

[Stephan Altmueller]

As opposed to IRC, Wave and Etherpad are persistent and allow to
collaboratively author content. We are using Wave extensively at work.
Very often we use it in kind of a chat mode (think online Scrum) and at
the end we edit the conversation and turn it into a document that
captures the essential information that was exchanged.

I have seen a lot of IRC conversations where really useful information
was exchanged. Some of these are stored in logs and turn up in google,
but the good stuff is generally surrounded by a lot of noise.
