RE: new promotional possibility - Fullscreen QTVR site

The initial index page is quite nice I think, but maybe those links to the
separate events could just link directly to the WWP event directories?
I think it's wonderful to see the collaborations and it looks amazing (as
well as will most certainly help bring in more traffic) but I do agree that
it would be ideal to drive people as directly as possible to the WWP site,
instead of representing the information.
Maximize exposure, minimize duplicated content - try and push people to the
original content as much as possible.
Great work though, it looks amazing, thanks to everyone who is working on
this!

But isn't having this site (which links to the WWP site) really a
frontend for the WWP? Wouldn't it be better to drive site visitors
*directly* to the WWP site vs. using the VRWay site as a frontend for
the WWP? Wouldn't using the VRWay site as a frontend for the WWP have a
tendency to pull traffic away from the WWP site? How would you feel if
they wanted to do the same frontend idea with the content on your (most
excellent!) site?
IMHO it seems like we'd be giving away the store if we allow this to happen.
