Huge+1 from me on that idea.

I think this is a good idea as well, with one minor detail though: as a community reviewer, I'd like to be able to give a talk just a cursory review, not immediately make a decision on how to grade or what to comment, and come back to it later. With static links that's easy: I can simply compile my own bookmark list. With dynamic/random links, the system would have to provide an alternative.

So, rather than inventing a separate bookmark system, maybe make links static per-user? Meaning every logged-in user gets a different link for the same talk, but for that user the link doesn't change? That still keeps me from sharing the link to my own talk (or more precisely, make it useless — another user would simply get a 404 if they tried to open it), but allows me to compile my own bookmarks.

Just an idea.

And a darned good one, IMHO. I just typed (and erased) that it might me too complex to code in time, as part of the point was to lessen developer workload, but I've actually just thought of a simple way to do it; let me know if you want help. (If we go this way.) ---- Nick
