Don't look at _me_!  I'm still paying my dues from the video collection! :)
 
Whoever ends up running this one, I have one suggestion derived from
my experience in managing the other tree:  KISS (Keep It Small, Stupid).
Limit the tree to the first 16 respondents who want to be leaves and
the first 4 who can be branches.  No more than 20!  Latecomers will have
to wait on another tree.
 
Also, ask each branch volunteer about their circumstances; find out
if there is anything that could prevent them from SPEEDILY making and
sending out their tapes.  Are they out of town a lot?  Are they students
who go back home every break?  If anything smells fishy -- find somebody
else!
 
Just some ruminations from a grumpy old fart,
