Define Format for Submissions about conf_2014 HOT 3 CLOSED

The first paragraph suggests that abstracts themselves (e.g. 150 - 300 words) should have all the sections of a full paper -- is that the intent?

The second paragraph uses "peer-review" in a non-standard way. To me, review by program committee is a non-peer-review approach. Maybe "Abstracts will be reviewed by the Program Committee Board" would be clearer?

Also, @stefanv and I are still not quite ready with the exact protocol for turning abstracts into papers. I think we can say that the authors of accepted abstracts are invited to submit full papers by DATE which will be subject to a peer review process, and published on the conference web page and within the proceedings of SciPy2014. Details of the submission and review process will follow at LINK.

Yes, they should have the aspects of a full paper.

We should definitely change peer-review to "will be reviewed by..."

The preliminary protocol description that you describe is fine. Indeed, the last sentence isn't even necessary at this stage. ("Details of the submission and review process will follow at LINK." can wait until we invite folks, if you need more time)
