	I would treat it exactly like a wiki. If you make comments and
want to have them attributed to you, do so. Maybe attribute it using a
"suggested by" statement.

	I think the presentation archive keeps track of some of this. Is
more than that necessary?

	These sound like the sorts of things you could arrange with people
on the discussion list, or that you could put as caveats on the page. For
example, in the "available to present" section you could state

	- Willing to present: vmware (but I would need a laptop/demo
computer).

	You could also talk to people on this mailing list asking whether
anybody would help you get the computer stuff you need. That's no
different than we have been doing for past presentations.

	Again, this can be arranged, but for the most part people have
either exported to PDF and used that, or they have gotten Internet access
in the room and put up their slides on a webpage someplace.
