Hi,

I'm not really up-to-date with the discussion, but AFAIR Paul was working
on the joind.in integration and I have two issues which I don't remember
what was the consensus on:
1, making joind.in mandatory for listing a conference would make us lose
some confs (where the conf doesn't want to use joind.in, like ConFoo)
2, we would still need some kind of approval/moderation system, otherwise
anybody can just add the phpdotnet(or whatever else we decide to use) tag
to their conference, and we can't do anything about that on joind.in. there
was a mention that at least joind.in has a full-time moderation team, so
the turnaround time for reports could be still better what we have now.
