Extra Info

I tried to create a page for all useR! events, how it is only possible to create an event page. A lot of the content on this page is hard-coded, e.g. adding "proposals" to the page title. It does not seem possible to add a logo/branding. The events menu shows the name of the currently selected event, which is confusing, e.g. when I am on the useR! page, the events menu button is named "useR" with options "useR" and "sample conf".

I then tried to create a page for useR! 2019 as a child of the useR! page. This is possible, but then I can't navigate to the useR! 2019 page from the navigation bar! (It shows on the /events/ page).

So I gave up on creating a set of events and created a stand-alone page for useR! 2020. (See issue #11).

Overall this is looking like an abstract handling site, not a conference management site.
