Yes, you are right. Again, as it has become obvious: I am quite time-constrained right now, and will be mostly-unavailable during the first 3 weeks of July. However, I am more than willing to be the (or one of the) on-site DebConf schedule-jugglers.

IIRC we _had_ implemented this idea for DC5 or DC6 (which ran using a different CMS - One written by me, and scratched since. Don Armstrong made the subsystem for voting for talks. But no, it's not adapted for Penta... and I doubt we have time to come up with such a hack right now. -- Gunnar Wolf • gw...@gwolf.org • (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list Debconf-team@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
