Welcome.
The field is open for ideas.
One idea is that we should try to do some experimentation during
the summer and try to present something at the ICFP workshops
(perhaps one at the ML workshop and one at the Erlang WS)
It might be a bit too late to come up with a paper (esp since the
ML workshop no longer accepts submissions), but perhaps there
is room for a poster or standup session? I'm not familiar with
how the ML workshop works, but at the Erlang workshop, there
will certainly be room for 10 minute presentations.
BR,
Ulf Wiger
