Restructured the outline based on your suggestions and a brief IRC
catchup with Saul. It includes more detail about presenters which i
*meant* to include in the first version i posted here :/ those who
are unconfirmed (or even in some cases unasked) are marked TBC.

I moved the FreeCulture session away and stuck a tentative
PublicParticipationMedia / open broadcasting one in there.
FreeCulture might want a long post-5pm BOF-style session after that? 

My main concerns right now - 
 * the Indian contingent is very under-represented (mostly because i
   have no clear sense of who's who, and Wsfii.2006 planning is
   happening during the pre-week
 * the first session probably needs a 'WSFII vision' first speaker 

Shekhar offered to give the first point some attention on Monday. 
I'd like to be able to send out wide-broadcast public invitations by
Tuesday morning.

It *does* look more aesthetically pleasing this way.
Human nature also allows obvious patterns to obscure deeper ones...
