XDC 2017 feedback

[Andres Rodriguez]

Hi,

A small piece of feedback from those of us watching remotely. It would 
be nice to have a simple to access index for the long livestream videos.

I think the XDC 2017 wiki page would be a good place for this 
information. A brief example:

Presentation Title | Presenter Name | Link with timestamp
-------------------|----------------|---------------------
...                | ...            | youtu.be/video-id?t=XhYmZs

Or alternatively, a list of hyperlinks with the presentation title as 
text that point to the correct timestamp in the video would also be 
sufficient.

Really enjoyed the talks, and would like them to be slightly easier to 
access and share with others.

Regards,
Andres
