<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Consolas"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:#1F497D">I found the user interface (specifically the two pane format and the sizing requirement) to be a little troublesome. Eventually
I just grabbed the json off the interface and populated a spreadsheet and that worked out much easier.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Consolas"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:#1F497D">I wanted to tag each of the 93 talks with a bunch of tags that I found to be useful, things like the names of the projects
covered, sales-pitch, customer-story, performance, … and so on, and later filter talks based on those tags.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1f497d" face="Consolas"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:#1F497D">So, if the next iteration of the tool had a way in which each chair could tag talks using an arbitrary (private) set of tags,
that would be nifty.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
