Just a 'comment from the sidelines' - various people have mentioned
that the "Cookbook" needs to be a 'guide', and that it can't be a
'recipe' for how to run a conference, given all the variations involved.

However, the term "cookbook" does in some ways imply
"a set of recipes".

What about using the term "Body of Knowledge"?
