As a community organizer myself, I'm pretty familiar with how difficult it can be to get the schedules up and available, but in my own communities, we make it front-page news on the website and have a link directly to "schedules" on every page header and we have a Twitter feed that we update with scheduling information (that also uses a widget on the homepage for those who don't follow Twitter directly). We also have a LJ page, where the info is copied, but it also links directly to the website, so although there are multiple sources of information, all the sources lead back to the main website and the front page of the main website. We have never had anyone ask us where to find the schedule or when it will be up because that information is the easiest information to find.
As a con-goer, I appreciate all the effort put into making D*C a fantastic event - I wouldn't miss it for anything. But from one con organizer to another, a suggestion would be to make the schedule information less of a hunt than it currently is.
