Re: [xsl] Where are the proceedings to the Extreme Markup conferences?

Thank you Wendell,

I remember that the whole paper preparation process was (what appeared
to be) completely automated and the person in the core of this was Mr.
Wendell Piez :)

Therefore, if I am correct, wouldn't it be straightforward to produce
the contents of a site containing all materials from the Extreme
Markup conferences?

Then it would be very likely that someone could offer to host this site.

Sadly, idealliance have removed this superb resource from the web without
consultation. You now have to subscribe to access it. I doubt that many
people have done so, which means everyone loses.

Actually I'm not sure it's meant to be available only by subscription. At
any rate, I can see a copy of the old Extreme proceedings, without a login,
at

http://conferences.idealliance.org/extreme/index.html

Drill into this and you can find Dimitre's paper (the HTML version) at

http://conferences.idealliance.org/extreme/html/2006/Novatchev01/EML2006Novatchev01.html

But note:

* Drilling into it isn't easy, as when the materials were moved, the CSS was
left behind, so these HTML files appear bare of CSS enhancements.
* PDF versions and XML source code of the papers appear also to have been
left behind, as those links are broken.

I think that it's pretty dubious selling this content without consulting
the
authors who contributed it, but they appear to be within their rights.

I hope this is a hypothetical question. :-)

I've resuscitated my papers from past idealliance conferences and put them
on my own web site.

I think that's an excellent idea.

Cheers,
Wendell
