I would say, yes, it's because we limit the number of presentations. (Though in reality, I wasn't part of the older discussions). I'd be against limiting up front because people can propose to talk about very different topics that may be of interest to the community. For example, these are the two proposals that I sent in this year: * Making the Web Accessible through Solid Design * Getting People to What They Need Fast! A Wayfinding Tool to Locate Books & Much More Neither made the cut, but I would say that's beside the point. How often do people send in more than two proposals anyway?
