Hi, just stumbled over Open Conference Systems (OCS) [1]. Pitty, it won't pass the "eat your own dog food" test. ;-) But it might be interesting as a source of inspiration, at least for John, maybe. I'm citing the features below as a reminder of what needs to be done. Hmmm, seems like they are missing badges... ;-)
