Create session specific Etherpads of the form /indiewebcamp-hashtag Where "hashtag" is the hashtag for each session. If one already exists, put it under a โ€œPast sessions about this topicโ€ header and write your stuff at the top.

Please use mediawiki syntax as much as possible (instead of the โ€œrich textโ€ editor) to ease wiki dumping later.
