New Conference Proposals

This is where you should enter proposals for new conferences.
The normal procedure is this: People kick around your suggestion for a
while - say, a week or two. If the cfadms see that there's a lot of
interest, they'll normally email you to discuss a few details. If they
don't, you can email cfadm to say *you're* still interested, and the
conference will be set up.
Obviously, there are no guarantees that anyone will ever join or read
your conference. If this matters to you, you may want to gauge others'
interest before starting. (We've had a very few people grouse along
the lines of "What's wrong with this system, anyway? I set up this
neat conference, but it's been completely dead!". Other
conferences have just quietly expired, to nobody's apparent dismay.)
Ideally, you should propose a name for the conference, give some idea
what it's intended to discuss or accomplish, and propose a fairwitness
or fairwitnesses - preferably with the agreement of those you propose.

This seems overly cumbersome in this day and age. We have so little usage
on Grex, that kicking around ideas for a few weeks isn't likely to generate
much, if any, discussion. To the extent that it did, I'd imagine that much
of it, while probably well-intentioned, would ultimately be counter-productive
in the sense it would likely take the form of asking the requestors to justify
their requests, which, I think, is a waste of time. At this point, if anyone
wants to use Grex, let's just let them use it how they like, without a lot
of vetting.
