<Wandering a bit off-topic> A major problem with doing a good job of putting things up on the wiki is the incompatibility of an easy presentation format, like a word document, versus a wiki format.
I'm currently reviving the SIGAPL web-page by adding links to relevant articles and I shamelessly put a few of my own J-related ones in the mix. I'm fond of the presentation I did for the functional programming Meetup (http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/DevonMcCormick/FunctionalJ) last year but what I have up is 30 JPGs. The original is a Word doc and the JPGs are simply screenshots of that - such is my aversion to PowerPoint. I think it looks OK but the JPGs are opaque to web searches (and there's some image degradation due to I-don't-know-what) - I really need to put up the text of the material. But that's a lot of work, so I haven't done it. </Wandering a bit off-topic> If anyone has good suggestions for this - specifically Word to wiki - I'd love to hear it and it would make it more likely that J conference talks will end up on the wiki in a suitable format. I've done cut-and-paste from Word into "GUI mode" on the wiki. It kind-of works, mostly, but leaves a horrific, uneditable mess in wikispace if you have any tables. This is the best I've found but it's not really very good, though it may be good enough.
