I can take out your editing role if you want. There is a testuser user to test what an average user sees, I can send you the password if you want. > All we need is a form with a few simple fields, and instead we have > things like - > > Authoring Information > Options > User comments A registered user don't see these fields. > Formatting guidelines > Attachments Yes, they are in the form for all users. What is the problem offering basic HTML and guidelines formatting to those wanting to have a rich edited page introducing their session? If you want to write just plain text it will work as well. Also people might be interested uploading documents, the presentation... I see this as a feature, not as a problem. If you don't want to upload anything, just don't use this feature. What users are submitting are not only proposals responding the Call for Papers. They are creating the only page that will contain all the information about a session. Introducing the same formatting capabilities as a i.e. blog entry is good, offering the opportunity to upload your stuff is very good, since this is the typical request when people attend a session in a conference. > I just want to fill in the form goddammit, and it's cluttered with all > this crap! :) If you just want to do this you just need to fill the fields with red asterisk: Title Language Track Protagonist Type of session Summary Full description If you think they are too many required fields, let's decide which ones we can make non-required. -- Quim Gil - http://desdeamericaconamor.org
