I agree with Stef on all of this. I think we should have the ability
for people to leave comments on a proposal, which then also necessitates
having all of the talks visible at some point. Yes, there will likely
be some spam management to be handled, but I think it's a small price to
pay.
We may even find that comments are helpful in shaping the talks and
improving them prior to the summit.
