I'd like to see more real-world experience talks in the program, from 
people who use TeX and LaTeX on a day-to-day basis (as opposed to those who 
develop leading-edge macros, fonts, etc for TeX and LaTeX).  One way to do 
this would be to have parallel sessions for part of each day, with a 
Developer track and a User track.  (Most of the talks in Hawaii, and at 
most other TeX conferences, would fall into the Developer track.)
