::I see, you are using the HOPL page as a public workspace, which will eventually be cleaned up. I'm fine with that, but I worry that some other wikipedian might come along and wipe it, citing [[WP:NOT#WEBSPACE]]. You might want to use a different public wiki for this task. One possibility is [[WikiWikiWeb]], since one of its interests is the [[c2:InformalHistoryOfProgrammingIdeas]]. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 20:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
* It would certainly be reasonable to "clean up" the page after the conference (incorporating the historical material into the indicated Wikipedia page), but one might also consider an overview of the genres/paradigms covered in the conference to be a good piece of background material for the understanding of HOPL. In fact, our conference historian has indicated that the overviews of the genres may be more than just a convenience, but necessary to full appreciation of the detailed material in the individual papers. We certainly do not want to misuse Wikipedia in any sense, but we hoped that this in depth capture of community's history could serve a double purpose - both explaining what happened during the period HOPL III covers and an encylopaedia-like depth that could only happen on Wikipedia.--[[User:N2cjn|n2cjn]]
* It seems as if there is no more discussion regarding merger at this time. Can we remove the link on the main page? --[[User:N2cjn|n2cjn]]
