Changed. Better now?

Remember this theme is provisional, we will includo this thought in the
contest for a definitive theme. All the layout is controlled by the
theme, which works autonomously from the content.

More tips for the contest.

stro knows, he need to deal with the sysadmins due to some configuration
of the servers.

Working on this. Now there is an intermediate solution. Editors are and
will be able to edit that page, including pure XHTML and php.

Kind of. Fernando is working on the online registration. Yes, we need help!

There is a banner module installed and yes we will need locations in the
layout to place banners.

Another hing are sponsor logos on the bottom of the homepage and the
sponsor pages. I don't think they should be so big (and somewhat ugly,
but this is subjetive) as in http://2005.guadec.org/ . A cute row of
sponsors at the bottom of the page plus a verbose sponsors page
explaining the virtues of every partner in a clear diamond-gol-etc
hierarchy can be better perceived by the sponsors and of course the users.

As an alternative, setting a right column with sponsors like at
http://conferences.oreillynet.com/etel/ is a one minute task (if you
have the sponsors and their logos)  ;)
