Revised Public Talk Outlines

In order to keep track of changing titles, outlines or complete replacements of talks it is possible to set the corresponding dates of their releasing and discontinuing as well as their current revision date. When a discontinued talk is replaced by another, it is neccessary to set the discontinued date [1] of the old talk and the release date [2] of the new talk, because these dates determine which of these talks should be displayed at a given time:
