Virgil,
In your current implementation, at Cambridge, are you witnessing any change 
in behavior from note takers?
I envision a moral hazard, or a kind-of prisoner's dilemma, manifested in 
lazy students waiting for others to post notes.
Then, eventually, note-takers catch on and stop posting...
How's that playing out in your prototype setting?
