Papers from the 2005 Haskell Workshop (Tallinn)?
The papers presented at the Workshop are already available in the ACM library which requires membership/subscription to read full text PDFs. Are there any plans to make those papers available anywhere else on the Web without subscription? -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web

See http://www.acm.org/pubs/copyright_policy/. Particularly the following part: "Under the ACM copyright transfer agreement, the original copyright holder retains: [...] * the right to post author-prepared versions of the work covered by ACM copyright in a personal collection on their own Home Page and on a publicly accessible server of their employer. Such posting is limited to noncommercial access and personal use by others, and must include [...]" Most authors do put their papers on their web pages nowadays. On a side note, it is a little strange that the research community does the research, writes and typesets the papers, and does most (?) of the arrangements for the conferences, and still someone else gets the copyright. University libraries have to pay lots of money for access to publications. I may have missed some term in the equation, though. -- /NAD

knuth wrote an open letter on just this subject that was very interesting.. http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/joalet.pdf I wonder if it would be okay to make a meta-web page that points to each authors homepage where they have their papers for each person that presented at a conference. I certainly think we should somehow centralize an index to papers on haskell. I have found it extremely difficult to track down papers for authors that have since moved out of academia or have passed on and don't have their personal homepages with their papers anymore.

The have been efforts to try to do this before. Here is an example: http://haskell.readscheme.org/ It seems that this site hasn't been updated properly. But it might make the starting point of a new attempt. Cheers, /Josef
