PLoP '96 Writers Workshops

These papers have all gone through at least one round of shepherding. However, they are not the final versions (final versions will be produced once the papers have gone through the writer's workshops at PLoP). Therefore, please be considerate and constructive in your treatment of these works, i.e., remember that our goal as a community is to improve the quality of the papers and to protect the dignity of the authors.

You can either click on a topic to locate the related papers, or you can simply scroll through this page sequentially.

7. Potpourri
   

• Note for authors -- You should read as many of the papers in your workshop as possible before you come to PLoP. If there are just one or two papers you can't print out, don't worry about it, but if you can't get any of the papers, please let us know so we can mail copies to you. Feel free to read the other papers, too. We'll be handing out copies of the proceedings at the conference, as well.

• Note for non-authors -- Feel free to attend any sessions that you'd like once you arrive at PLoP. In general, we would prefer that non-authors stick with a single track since it helps them establish rapport with other attendees and keeps the size of the sessions more manageable. However, some movement between tracks is ok, as long as you are respectful of the other groups (i.e., please don't go barging asking for clarification of issues that were discussed at length earlier), and as long as the sessions you move to aren't too full (our definition of "too full" is > 10 non-authors at a session).

  In any case, we strongly suggest that you read the papers for sessions you'd like to attend. This will greatly improve your experience at PLoP since you'll be able to appreciate the discussions more fully. Whether non-authors can sit in the main circle of authors at a writer's workshop is left to the discretion of session authors.
