1. The thing we're thinking of doing is discussion threads rather than real time chats. (It's less fun & interactive than the skype chats, but is good for quickie "how many words have we written?" type stuff, and can be a good supplement for those in incompatible time zones.)
2. Both Sides of the Border is a forum, so it'd be more like comments on an LJ post than like comments in a Skype chat. But (if I understood what the person who suggested it had in mind) it'd be like one of those memes where you post a few sentences of your WIP, not like publishing a chapter on your blog. I'm not sure where that falls on your spectrum of okayness? :)
