Well, I don't like that as a solution, because conference sites can go
down, lose files or whatever and the material becomes unavailable. Our
wiki is reliable, backed up, monitored by the same people who runs all
the rest of pg infrastructure -- all of which I like. I meant something
like, can the conference organizer team request to have the slides
emailed to them, and *they* upload to the wiki using a pre-existing
account.
