There is a mechanism that acts much like your "cyber-white board"; one
example of it is called the Wiki Wiki Web, accessible at
http://www.c2.com/cgi-bin/wiki?WikiWikiWeb
This particular wikiweb is devoted to design patterns, but the mechanism
could be used for other purposes just as well. You might browse a bit,
just to get the flavor of the interaction going on.
Thinking about it, it might be a nice adjunct to this list in general,
allowing interested people to work out threads of ideas with more
immediate visual feedback, then occasionally posting summaries,
invitations, etc. to the list. I don't know if Rick has the resources to
set something like this up, but it's worth a look.
