you got it!

for the lgm 2008 i've written a small registration management system...

now, my question is: do you (or anybody else) miss anything in the last 
year system, which would make it worth to look for an external one?

i would personally continue with the one i've set up (which grew with 
lgm 2009 and will be consolidated for 2010)*, but i'm open to any 
suggestions.
(not sure if a django based solution will be an option, though: we may 
not have accesss to python on the server...)

not sure if the organisators and the attendees prefere online payments 
to cash ones... we're all quite conservative...


ciao

* i plan to free the code i've written for the lgm site as a
  - text file based
  - low ressources
  - modular
  - extensible
  - translatable
  framework / cms...
