On a (slightly) more serious note, are we going to do the next minividfest in the same format as last time (i.e. small monitor) or are we going to project them?

It does sound quite an interesting idea, but what i would suggest with an idea like this is that it probably ought to be posted in the peoples forum, rather than here, so that everyone can see what you're suggesting and have a chance to give you feedback on the idea...

If we went for a smaller size we might have to increase some of the text sizes a bit to ke...
