Great stuff - thanks for getting it started. I'm still writing up my

Since we first talked about a history of the Access Conference a
couple of years ago, I've wanted to put together a database of
presentations, tag them consistently, and then do some kind of
animated tag cloud to show how topics have come and gone over the
