Many SE conferences follow separate deadlines for abstract and full paper submission within the same track deadline. For example, this years ICSE research track has abstract submission deadline on Mar 15 AoE and full paper submission deadline on Mar 22.

In the current setting, we only show the abstract submission deadline in our website but not the full paper submission deadline. We should think of some way to handle this.

Many software engineering venues have multiple tracks. For example:

• Research track/full paper track
• Short paper
• Industry tack
• Journal first track
• Tools tracks
• Dataset tracks
• New and emerging ideas track

We could probably, to make it easier to add and find tracks, add a tag to be added when adding an entry. An example how it would look would be the following:

- name: ICSE-JF
  description: International Conference on Software Engineering - Journal-first Papers
  year: 2025
  link: https://conf.researchr.org/track/icse-2025/icse-2025-journal-first-papers
  deadline: 
  - "2024-10-21 23:59"
  date: April 26 - May 4, 2025
  place: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
  tags: [CO]
  tracks: [JF]

In main.js, if the deadline for a conference is "TBA", the deadlineByConf for the conference is assigned to null. However, when sorting, the difference in time to today is used, which is not supported for null, leading to wrong sorting of conferences. TBA, future and past deadlines get mixed in the list. The ordering also breaks if an invalid deadline is supplied, even though the site shows the deadline as an Invalid Date.
