Wiki White House

Technology evangelists believe that Barack Obama has the potential to fundamentally alter communication between the presidency and the people. Wikis in the White House? Online public comments on legislation? A real-time two-way conversation between citizens and their elected officials?

For better or worse, however, nothing is as easy as it might seem. Federal regulations, First Amendment issues, and just plain common sense are going to slow -- and potentially stagnate -- technological innovation in Washington.

The New America Foundation and Wired Magazine will host a discussion of what can, should, and must change when the Obama administration takes the reins.

@dem0nk1d123: not really. I have a really good compression scheme that I've worked out that gets events like these down to under 200MB. Remember that you can compress audio a lot and still have it rather high quality...and you can reduce video frame rates and increase compression with little loss in quality.

It's all about tweaking your encoder settings. :)
