hi femke,

personally i'd prefer to have the same pledgie button as last year... it's ok to optimize it a bit (and maybe create also a "real" button), but i'd like the people to recognize that it's a yearly event.

this does not mean that it has to stay forever in its current state! but, imo, a bit of continuity may have a positive effect...

it this does not mean either that i won't be happy with a new cool button from alex!

hi JOHN,

i'd like to have all the public pages related to the LGM on the LGM site. but i thought that we had to use the create wiki for the talks submissions.

i have already finished the set up the submissions framework for 2011 and i think it's now time to concentrate on getting high quality submissions not on the infrastructure behind it.

next year, we can certainly look for a solution which will be on the LGM site (and which does not require a wiki account for submitting a talk proposal).

ciao
