Under watch
No committed release, waiting on a trigger-
Under watch Trigger · Indico exposes form state
Auto-detect registration state from Indico
Blocked: this Indico build doesn't expose registration-form state on the public or authenticated API, so the status pill stays a manual override.
-
Under watch Trigger · NetSec coordination
Generalise the Indico sync for NetSec
Reusing the live programme sync on the sister NetSec site. Waiting on coordination with the NetSec maintainers.
-
Under watch Trigger · source research
Reconcile archive dates and narratives
A few contradictory dates and narratives across the older archive pages. Needs source research before any contested fact is edited.
-
Under watch Trigger · a concrete need
Parked until there's a reason
Ideas held back without a trigger: custom-domain board emails, a self-hosted newsletter, a multi-author CMS, analytics (the no-analytics stance is deliberate), and a multi-page member directory.
