Hosting other conferences. We really need good hosts to help pump up the other conferences. Who do you suggest for these roles?

Terry, I may just be speaking for myself (or possibly reflecting the members of the Austen conference), but it seems to me that people are looking for something quite specific when they are searching for web sites. When I found the Auten Conference (actually, it's predecessor), I wasn't looking for 'books' or 'literature', I was looking for something related to Jane Austen and specifically Pride and Prejudice. Maybe you need to concentrate on publicizing the availability of the Spring and its capabilities. If you build it, they will come.

I'm coming around to this philosophy. Let's dig deeper into the specifics of this and how we could get this to happen.
