[EuroPython] registration procedure feedback

[Martijn Faassen]

Hello,

A list of old (last week's, posted on wiki page) and new issues I found 
with the registration procedure.

We need to make sure the www.europython.org links to this registration 
page and that you can see this link (blinking in red or whatever) 
*without* having to scroll down.

The blue 'info' box saying "New person registered" at the top is *very* 
odd when I'm only starting to register. I understand this has to do with 
the object oriented way this is all working, but as a stupid user it's 
only confusing to me and looks just plain *wrong*.

It asks for address data. Is this a company address, personal address.
Is this required? Those were my immediate questions as a no-nothing
person. The page needs to say something about what this address I need
to fill in. It turns out this is the *billing* address. Let's say 
something about this. Or let's not ask it but let wordpay handle it by 
itself later, then it's clear automatically. If I'm registering as a 
member of some company I need to *know* this should be my billing 
address, not my private address, and vice versa.

I can fill in some info on a tshirt, but I have no idea what the tshirt 
is if I'm a dumb user. Why would I want a tshirt? And, being Dutch, I'd 
like to know *how much* is the tshirt? The only way I could deduce this 
later by substracting at the billing info, this is bad. It should be 
specified it adds n to the total charge.

what fee (if anything?) do track chairs pay? If I'm registering as a 
track chair, what do I fill in? Hm, I see even speakers can't fill in 
anything anymore; I assume it was decided to go through some other 
procedure for these individuals. This needs to be clear at the start of 
the registration process, so speakers don't *accidentally* register; 
some were used to do this previous year, for instance.

This needs editing, and should be something along these lines:

"""

The email sent needs to be similarly updated.
