+## Process proposals
+
+1.  In the private repository, create a conf.org.
+2.  Set `emacsconf-org-file` to its location.
+3.  Create a heading for Submissions and set `CUSTOM_ID` to `submissions`.
+4.  Prepare the `prepare` and `submit` pages on the wiki.
+
+When proposals come in:
+
+1.  Acknowledge with an e-mail along the lines of:
+    
+        Hello, ....!
+        
+        <feedback> We'll wait another week in case anyone else wants to
+        chime in before I add it to the wiki and send further notes. :) Thanks for
+        submitting this!
+
+2.  Use `emacsconf-mail-add-submission` if it works, or create the entry and paste it in.
+    `org-toggle-item` can help convert Org-style headings into a nested list.
+3.  Set the following fields (`my/org-set-property`
+    can be helpful): EMERGENCY, Q\_AND\_A,
+    AVAILABILITY, NAME, PRONOUNS, TIME,
+    SLUG, EMAIL, NAME\_SHORT, CUSTOM\_ID,
+    TRACK, TIMEZONE, CATEGORY, DATE\_SUBMITTED,
+    PUBLIC\_EMAIL
