Re: Ninjam server

Thanks for the offers for setting up the Ninjam server, Mark & cpr. 
We'll have to hear from Kim about whether we can get remote access, or 
if someone local has to do that.

I'd like to get the live feed happening ASAP, so let's keep an eye on 
what the Ninjam officials do, but I think we can get it set up with 
Shoutcast and a permanent client in the room.

As far as the calendar, it'll be useful for people to be able to 
schedule actual sessions with specific people, I know for me the big 
drawback with the Jam Rooms - other than all the Hendrix imitators - was 
having people jump in suddenly while I was getting something good going 
with the people I actually wanted to play with. So I want to allow peeps 
to have times where they know what they're going to get, basically using 
it as a performance and/or rehearsal space. But I imagine most of the 
time will be OPEN SEASON (to borrow Rainer's phrase) for anybody to hop 
in, which I am quite excited about.
