What exactly are you suggesting? Please refrain from changing the
workshops page without discussion because it has been done in a very
specific way (with a program to generate the code) and we need to make
sure changes will persist when it gets updated.

I don't think we should use a commercial package like that. It's on the
TODO to set up search indexing on our own server so we are not linking
out to Google.

I don't think now is the time to make design changes, we have already
been through a process of design feedback.

I am paying attention. Any urgent stuff will be dealt with. Other stuff
will be done in a timely manner. I think less than 24 hours after a new
process has been agreed is not an appropriate time to review it...
