"reply-to" is set up incorrectly, apparently, to reply to the
individual sender instead of to the list. If someone knows how to fix
that, I would be eternally grateful. Why it's not the default, I don't
know.
[Hitting "reply all" on Yahoo is, for some reason, not always as easy
as it should be.]
Thanks for your patience,
Anna

Hi folks,
sorry to miss the IRC meeting(s) last week. It was a pretty hectic
week.

registration *PAYMENT*) in order to submit a talk and potentially be
a
speaker.
*I'd hate to have to deal with the issue of refunding money already
paid for folks who are accepted as speakers.
IMHO, submitting a talk should be as easy as possible for the
potential
speakers. Yes - the data for speaker information (Name, address,
contact info and such) should be linked to the attendee data, but it
should be "behind the scenes" so that the speaker can simply submit
their talk and wait to see if they're accepted. Once confirmed, then
they can complete registration as a speaker at the reduced rate.
If registering for the conference and paying the registration fee
isn't
what you mean, can you clarify what you do mean by "register"? I may
very likely be misunderstanding something...

Hi,
I will build the new system with ArcheTypes, at the moment I think of
these basic types
- poeple: contains data for poeple doing something at or for the
conference, can be individuals or organisations.
- talks: the talk and tracks
- registrations: the registration (conference and lodging)
So to register or to submit a talk one first has to register and is
then
logged in. This way one has to enter the individual data only once.
