Kingsley, I'm all in agreement with you that those are awesome things to 
have lined up for us to get the best out of the full stack that everyone 
is working on.

However, I have to slightly deter with you on our priorities.

In my opinion, the biggest "win" (and perhaps the least amount of effort 
from a technical perspective, though I could be wrong on this) is to get 
conferences accept the "papers" in Web friendly formats. We first need a 
"go ahead". I strongly believe that our primary pain points are social, 
not technical. To prove my point, lets see if and how [1] unfolds.
