[clue] [TALK] Why CLUE does not video stream meetings

[YES NOPE9]

The extreme dysfunction of CLUE has resulted in streaming video and other projects being abandoned.  At one time CLUE was on the brink of having streaming video capability for meetings and a really nice Drupal-based website.
The active *interference* of some members has caused quite a few innovative and energetic individuals to withdraw from active engagement with CLUE.  No doubt I will receive hate mail by mentioning this.
