I understand that. Necessary only in that a link of a topic that was on the
page got presented, and click <here> to go to the presentation page. i.e. We
listened, we delivered.

	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.
