I'm hardly going to tell you it's not okay, but I really did mean a separate page. This is for two reasons: * Having a separate page calls it out as significant in a way that even required fields on the main reg form do not * The separate page gives more room for explanation about both the community-oriented nature of the conference and why volunteering is so critical to conference success Also, to address Doug's point, you can have an option labeled "Send me info about volunteering during the con -- I can't commit now" -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection." --Butler Lampson _______________________________________________ Europython-improve mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/europython-improve
