Western WorldWideWeb Weaver's Waggle (W^6)
(Software Interest Group on Distributed Information Systems)
The UCSF Center for Knowledge Management will be hosting the first
in a series of monthly meetings focusing on the development of the
WorldWideWeb and other distributed information systems such as Gopher and
WAIS. This event is open to Web enthusiasts of all persuasions; we hope
to cultivate a sophisticated community of users, authors, and developers.
If you are writing Web software or documents, or are just generally interested
in distributed information systems, please email sig-web@ckm.ucsf.edu to let
us know you'll be coming.
This initial meeting will feature a talk on SGML given by Terry Allen,
Editor of O'Reilly & Associates Digital Media Group. The rest of the time
will be devoted to being excited about the whole thing and perhaps getting
organized (deciding on future meeting dates, locations, and topics).
