Conceptually, the idea seems very feasible and beneficial to everyone willing to take the time to contribute and participate. But, I do have concerns about live chats, tutorials and meet & greets. As mentioned, time zones, a tremendous factor which, potentially, could exclude many artists and users. That needs major consideration, thoughtful planning, and proper coordination to make it successful. Another factor is timing, scheduling events to coincide with optimal participation. I am sure most participants are employed either day- or night-time with limited access to computers or mobile devices. Or busy real-life events which could also impact on Web participation. How will they be accommodated and included in these events? And may I point out, how will these events be announced and broadcast? Will there be mass emailings? Will there be a special forum prominently pinned somewhere to attract members? There is quite a bit to things to consider to make this a successful venture, and I'll be awaiting closely.
