ZPT's fine with me, but no objections to DTML. Infrae (Kit and I :) have
been switching our development from DTML to ZPT in the last few months
and we noticed getting the hang of it happened very quickly.

I can ask Kit here. I'll let you know tomorrow.

Up to you guys. :)

Agreed. It just needs to look nice and clean.

By next week I expect some of our wiki pages will be cooked enough to
start moving over the text into the website proper. The PR team and associated
chaff like me should be the ones determining what is ready for publication,
though of course help from you (like this list above) is gladly accepted.

Anyway, we'll let you (the web people) know what material we have ready.
Since it's in the wiki it'll be structured text already, so if you could
make the pages work with that we can move quickly.

The texts that will ready first will be the general information about
the conference (press release and other information). Afterwards I think
we should start running simple news items ("Christian Tismer will speak
about stackless!") to make people excited. After a while we should 
have some forms ready and will move on to accepting submissions for
abstracts and finally (pre) registrations.

How does that sound?

Thanks,
