I'm feeling brave but tired ;-) Besides I'm spending all of my free time learning Haskell! :) I don't know tex at all, I just wanted to mention the unfortunate fact that people with bad eyes (or tired eyes, like mine) might have problems (well at least I have) reading this standard format. I did some Googling, and at first sight http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2006-May/002213.html (but my sight is not that good ;-) creating a reflowable PDF from tex is not obvious. But it would already help a lot if instead of having two columns per page, we just had a single column, with less space between the margins, and using a >2x larger font. That can't be that hard I guess? Peter Well, I would Christopher L Conway wrote:

Hi Peter,

Although this is standard, it is not really accessible for people with people with bad vision, who prefer larger fonts. When you print this, the fonts are rather small. For those people, a reflowable PDF would make much more sense, so they can choose how big the fonts are on screen & paper.

It is the standard for ACM workshops and conferences, which includes ICFP and Haskell Workshop. All these PDF's are produced from a standard Latex class file. If you wrote to people expressing this, and did whatever magic is required to make the class file produce both the current format and a reflowable PDF, you might get somewhere.

Neil,

The person responsible for this at the ACM is Gerry Murray (murray@hq.acm.org). He has been extremely responsive in the past when I have had problems with the class file. The standard ACM conference style is attached (I'm sure many on the list already have it), in case Peter is feeling brave. Note that the ACM has several different formats (e.g., journal vs. conference) and they would all need to be updated.
