I posted a "To Do" for this page asking memebers to pitch in and reorganise the wiki to make it easier for members to understand and navigate.
Ellen Atama offered this suggestion:
"I think it would be helpful if you ask one or two people to work on it rather than everyone, and make a clear place for planning and a different one for sharing resources."
Any thoughts?

Do you plan to have a conference dinner? I think we need information about that and accommodation to go up on the participant website fairly swiftly!
