On Monday, December 1st, Marc Nanard sent the following e-mail to members of SIGLINK (ACM's special interest group on hypertext).
As ACM SIGLINK Chair, I invite you, as a SIGLINK member, to provide us with your comments on the new trends of your special interest group. Currently an important issue is rising: SIGLINK must improve its visibility and be more attractive to WWW research. As a consequence, next year the name SIGLINK would be changed by ACM into SIGWEB if the membership approves the change.
Marc Nanard, ACM SIGLINK Chair.
I reproduce the letter here (in slightly less-linear form), and also include my response.
Marc Nanard's forward, including an enumeration of the goals of SIGLINK.
The proposed change: From SIGLINK to SIGWEB?, by Marc Nanard.
