I have been totally out of the loop this week, but
last week I spoke to Joachim and Tom and we agreed
ReportLab would pull data from the Zope site and/or
from any databases they have behind it. 

Joachim has demonstrated an xml-rpc database connection
for getting at the Zope data. I would strongly prefer
to get the data from Zope.  We need structured input
and the Wiki definitely is not that.  

As a track organiser who's got catching up to do,
I really prefer to put my data into Zope.  As soon
as I have done it I will slim down tyhe track Wiki
page to say 'talks X/Y/X accepted; look in Zope;
any new suggestions or comments can go here."

Thanks,

Andy
