Load events that are current and forthcoming first. #9149

I just attended the online version of Wikimania, which used this software. I had difficulty keeping track of the very big schedule because when I would load the page, it would start with only the talks from the beginning of the day. Later in the day this would mean that I had to scroll down, wait for more of the schedule to load and repeat that for 3 or 4 times! I'm no longer interested in events that have passed, please start the page with an overview of current and forthcoming events and make it optional to load earlier events.

Can I work on this issue ?

@VDK Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree, but we have also received the exact opposite feedback from a few people who would like to see the whole schedule by default. I think we need to think hard about what would be the best solution or how different use cases could be taken care of. If you have any ideas please let us know.

The problem is that the whole program doesn't load by default. I don't understand why each scroll action only loads a new small section of the program. This is mostly text, it shouldn't be that hard to load more of it at once? Why would it need 3 or 4 loads for me to get to the afternoon of the program? If the program is going on most users will want to know what events are current and where they want to go next. You're hiding the most relevant portion of the program the majority of the day.
