Yeehaaw, an Easter volunteer. I agree, continuing to work on the site on
Easter Sunday is the only thing a self-respecting conference participant
should do (other than painting eggs, of course...)

You're right, of course. The drill-down is really ugly. It happened as
an attempt to keep the past and current conferences at the same level
and with the same structure, and still making the current conference
most visible. Then PloneConference was installed. Too much drilling,
definitely.

Do you have sufficient access to the server to do a redirection and are
you willing to do it? Ivo announced on the list that he has returned
from Egypt, so he may be all relaxed and tanned and willing to jump in.

Tom is the one who moved the talks, I think. It is strange that the 2002
talks should be there, but not 2003. I don't know how, where from and
whereto they had to be moved, but I was pretty certain they were all
there. 

Happy Easter!
