Hi Barry,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can you tell us if a long abstract is really required? Our presentations are summarized in 100 words and I'm not that keen to start writing lots of words for the sake of it :-) </div>

<div>(That brings me to the suggestion for the conference guidelines to always request the same details for presentations, workshops et cetera in consecutive conferences)</div><br></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>I think the community voting system needs titles, short abstracts, and long abstracts. Voters see the title and short abstracts, and can click to see the long abstract for clarification. I may be wrong in this, since there's not a community voting session going on at the moment using the system.<br>
<br></div><div> If the submission system doesn't let you post a blank section, I'd cut n paste the short abstract into the long abstract box.<br><br></div><div> And +1 on this being a bit sub-optimal. <br><br></div>
