[tei-council] Shopping cart tryout

[Elena Pierazzo]

Hi, Tried it and seems intuitive and easy.
A couple of remarks:

1. The website is very slow
2. The affiliation field for the Conference tag is too short (32 chars  
if I got it right) and 'Centre for Computing in the Humanities'  
doesn't fit.
3. In general I find a bit disturbing the commercial vocabulary  
('shopping cart', 'customer') as when you register for a conference  
you are not really purchasing goods.
