I've participated in hackathons from home - it's not a great
experience.  Things that might help include 1) clarity about
tasks, and 2) a communication channel (say, irc) in which people
are actually hanging out during the hackathon (as opposed to
peeking in from time to time).

Since there's really nothing stopping anybody from participating
remotely it seems that the question is actually about support for
remote participation (say, infrastructure, etc.).  There hasn't
been, but it might be worth considering whether or not there's
anything that could be provided to make it easier.

One thing that was really very much appreciated was having the
final presentations streamed over Youtube, and I hope that
can continue.
