how to proceed. For my own sanity, I'm trying hard not to shepherd too many sessions, panels, workshops, Birds of a Feather, etc.
Wisely :-) If you're talking to people who might themselves submit a panel, one of them might take the lead in shepherding the panel (as phoebe notes, even if not everyone on the panel is known / has yet accepted).
Is there a place on the wiki where these potential speakers can say what they'd like to talk about and try to connect with other speakers and moderators to form panels? I've looked at the Program Ideas page
The Program discussion page is a fine place to work. If you as are thinking up potential panels, you might want to list them by topic under the "Panels" section on the Program . If a speaker wants to attend but isn't sure of the subject, they/you might want to list such speakers under the "Panelists" section.
