The XML Prague resources are fabulous, and I admire the people who are creating such a valuable resource! We at Balisage have a slightly different point of view. We invest significant energy in creating the Balisage proceedings, which we have committed to making permanently available to the public for free. (By "permanently" I mean for as long as I have anything to say about it. I have no idea what will have replaced the web in 200 years, and I cannot promise that Balisage papers will be available on it. But we will be registering DOIs for the papers with CrossRef, so they will be locatable for a long time.) Balisage isn't going to create video of the conference, mostly because in my opinion it changes the nature of the event. Pointing a video camera at people tends to reduce the number and quality of questions from the floor and is likely to stifle the interactive discussion we prize at Balisage. (Also we don't have the money.) -- Tommie Usdin chair, Balisage: The Markup Conference -- ====================================================================== Balisage: The Markup Conference 2009 mailto:info@b...
