Improvements in the flow of the forms

[lalalala-in]

The conference registration and event submission forms could be better integrated. Right now there are two separate forms for conference registration and submitting proposal. This could be better integrated by having a flow in which:

• if it's a not-logged-in user (new user) s/he's asked to provide username, email and password followed by, for submitting a proposal, a title, session type and an abstract and registration for the conference.
• if it's a logged-in user s/he's asked to provide, for submitting a proposal, username, email and password followed by, for the submission/event, a title, type and an abstract. If the user hasn't registered then only s/he's asked to register for the conference.

(in both cases. keeping registration part optional is an option)

Furthermore, the user is given an option to add difficulty level and subtitle only after the proposal has been submitted. I think this should be given directly in the first form.

Is this still valid? Thought we implemented this during hackweek last year? @differentreality @hennevogel

We have

The user is given an option to add difficulty level and subtitle only after the proposal has been submitted. I think this should be given directly in the first form.

We are still asking for tracks and subtitle after submission. If we are doing this on purpose to keep submission of proposal simple (at first), I think it would make more sense if we change submission process to widget kind of thing (which would step user through the process).

And why would we?

And why would we?

All the things we are asking users to add to proposal seems to be all over the place. User adds tracks and subtitle by editing the form after submission, there is a different tab to adding commercial, there is a button to schedule the proposal. I think it would be better if we can unify all this process. We would be also adding more stuff (for example: speakers). Users save the first draft (just with title and abstract) and then continue where they left off at any later point.

We're already doing this. If you want to make the Event#edit form more simple please go ahead or record an issue so we can discuss this. This has nothing to do with this issue though...
