Ok, this had some more information. Thank you! (I just tried to find
information using the tab "Talks". Perhaps a link from the Talks-tab to
the Talks track page could be added?)

I was just interested in knowing a little more about the conference before
deciding to join it. I think it is nice to know who is responsible for
what. Conferences that I have previously participated (such as the WWW,
http://www2003.org) has had a quite informative and easy to navigate web
site where all relevant information (such as the program, descriptions
of the trackes etc) has been easy to find (in my opinnion).

I think the europython-website is good, but it could be even better by
emphasizing the the most important things (the things that helps the
visitors to decide whether to join the conference or not) to lazy web page
readers like me. :)

No intensions to irritate you or something, but just wanted to give you
some valuable (?) feedback. :)

Kim
