I like Javier approach, but I'd like to try to propose an alternative. As far as I've understood the main problem is that the www page is chronically outdated because no one seems to care about it now *and* because is quite boring add content in a wml file (or maybe more boring than in a wiki page). I think also that many people (DDs included) totally ignore the existence of that page. ;) So my proposal is to maintain the talks page on www, but to manage that as the "Who's using Debian?" stuff: with submissions (see this page [1]) This afternoon I've modified the list of talks, turned it upside-down to show the more recent at the top, as Rhonda suggested. I can easily mantain the page updated if we created a paragraph in which explained how send mails on www list, with appropriate infos with a sort of submission form. Another important condition is to improve the visibility of the page: if people don't know that there's the possibility of submitting their slides there's no chance that they submitting it. (/me is very sorry for her evident assertion). What you think about it? [1] http://www.debian.org/users/index.en.html#submissions
