All of this has already been done for the *SWC conference series, and I am making sure it will be done for the WWW XXXX series, XXXX>=2008. Additional conferences hopefully will jump in the bandwagon once the infrastructure I referred to in my previous post is in place. It is mostly a matter of time (due to limited resources), but I expect that in the future it will be mostly automatic. And then, once we have exciting applications (e.g., the Exihibit interface David made) available "for free", I believe the added incentive will be there for organizers to do it - it would clearly be a bonus for any organizer to be able to offer such interfaces to the attendees... Cheers D PS Not to worry, passion is not something that is lacking in this community ;-)
