The desire to conduct a web-based briefing is mature but no implementation plans have been defined or investigated.
What constraints does this project have (delivery dates, PDA-enabled delivery, must be blue!, etc.)?
The technical constraints need to be explored and based upon the capabilities of the audience. In addition to the reporters, there maybe a general public connection to this project (HubbleSite's Astronomy Day project) and whatever technology is chosen needs to work for a more general audience.
The deadline for this project will be National Astronomy Day/Week.

What constraints does this project have (delivery dates, PDA-enabled delivery, must be blue!, etc.)?
None, but sooner would be better.
Are there any external to OPO participants in this project (external scientists, NASA officials, Origins missions, etc.)?
No.
