Re: Where are the proceedings to the Extreme Markup

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.
