Could probably done with Summit, but I'd really prefer if noone else edited the description of what I am expected to present. But a comment feature would be nice. There is also a way to star talks you are interested in. > An alternative approach: just reject any talks with poor descriptions. > Try to tell submitters early if their description isn't good enough -- > maybe give them a short extension after the deadline to resubmit a > better description even, but otherwise leave it up to the submitter.
