+# Capture questions and answers
+
+During the conference, people will be sending questions via Etherpad
+and IRC, and speakers might answer live or via Etherpad or IRC. As a
+volunteer, you can help make sure those questions and answers don't
+get lost. It would be great to get as many questions as possible
+written down in the Etherpad, along with their answers. This means
+copying questions and answers from IRC, typing in answers given live,
+copying questions from the pad into IRC if that's where the speaker is
+paying attention, and so on. It's a bit of a scramble, but it keeps
+the conversation going even after the event.
