Re: Survey: Use of this list for Calls for Papers

Hi Phil,
Good question.
I’m afraid none of the username/passwords I have for w3.org seem to work.
Can you give me a hint at which pair I should be using, or tell me how to retrieve/reset, please?

While I’m here… :-)
a) I think the idea of allowing CFPs, as long as they clearly have [CFP] or whatever in the subject line, is great.
b) We could pick one of the two lists, then we would see less duplication; I would suggest semweb, as that embraces LD.
(Maybe I would get to vote that way, but I don’t know what the 4 questions are :-) )
c) I don’t want to have CFPs shortened - I often read my email when I am offline (in fact I keep such emails to read offline), and it is a pain when the information is all “just a click away”, but I can’t get it.

Best
Hugh

It is now likely that this will be the policy, with any message detected as being a CfP marked as spam (and therefore blocked).
