Can we please remove the "rocket launch" timer from the site ? It looks ugly and distracting. We don't need a timer at all. Instead we just need a calendar. First let us get some talks and sponsors and then move into the countdown mode. Also, I am having some thoughts about the dull blue background of the site and the tiny fonts. Nothing about the site is eye-catching at all. It fails to inspire. Can we have more larger fonts and a better background ? Thanks, -- --Anand

Done.

Do you mean a box with important dates listed? Like this? June 12, 2010: Call for proposals opens July 31, 2010: Proposal submission deadline ... Sept 25-26, 2010: Conference days I don't think that can fit into sidebar or a header. How about creating a new page for that?

Increased the font-size. Abhishek said he'll try couple of new improvements soon. Anand

Not on a separate page. We need important dates on the front page. I think we can drop in a table tehre with the dates about as wide as the twitter widget. Can't we?

Like all sites, it's got room for improvement. I think it's functional enough so this is not urgent. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
