Wanted: MW2007 Birds of a Feather Breakfast Topics

There's a call out for topics for tables at the Museums and the Web 2007 Birds of a Feather Breakfast. What's on your mind that you'd like to get together and talk about?So far, we've had the following suggested:
- Creative Commons licenses
- Google maps mashups
- History on-line
- Informal science and learning
- Open Content Alliance – Museums Content
- Open source
- Re-purposing in-gallery exhibition media vs. making it new
- Recommender systems
- Social tagging
- Teachers, using museum resources
- Technology Futures
We'll make sure there are tables for these topics. Any other ideas? Leave a comment.

I'd be happy to share a table with anyone who might be interested in our recent project for the Virtual Museum of Canada, entitled "Regina Clay: World's in the Making" which features some breakthrough technologies for the interactive online 3d presentation of museum artifacts (plus some other cool site features as well)
A topic suggestion: Bilingual / multi-lingual Web sites, and how to manage rapid response when working with multiple languages (e.g. blogging, wikis, or other "Web 2.0" features).
"Can museums leverage 'alternate reality' and social networking games to 'enspirit'** their public spaces?"
** transform the space by overlaying the possibility or expectation of narrative
