I think things have become unclear in the various emails back and forth. I was
really under the impression that I explicitly asked 'do you want training in the
registration site YES/NO', and after that I explicitly stated I would take it
out completely, to which I have not had an objection.

The training page would be on guadec.org, but anyway, we'll hack it in and pray
that nothing breaks. I'll send you a preview url once it's in.

Of course, we'd need the training page online as well, because otherwise people
would have no idea what they are registering for.
