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. --amk
