This year the software for submitting proposals to PyCon was written
extremely hurriedly, and often new features were added just before (or
just after) a conference deadline. I'd like to do better next time by
having the software be more polished before the proposal submission
madness begins.
To that end, a Wiki page for recording ideas for the conference
software is at http://www.amk.ca/ng-arch/ConferenceSWIdeas
Please add any suggestions you might have; suggestions from proposal
authors and reviewers will be especially valuable.
I've akso set up a mailing list named 'conf' for people who want to
help test alphas and betas of software; you can join at
http://www.amk.ca/mailman/listinfo/conf .
My plan is to hack on the conference software fairly intensively for the
next month or two, with mailing list readers trying out the current snapshot
and offering comments/triggering bugs. Then I'll then move on to other
projects, at least until the CFP for PyCon 2005 goes out and new feature
requests begin arriving.
