A number of people have asked about what happened out at Harbour
Centre last month.  Here are a couple of ways to find out some
things.

One is that I was asked to write out some reflections on the
conference for the XMCA list (I think that the second-largest
identifiable contingent at the Genre conference, after Inkshedders,
was subscribers to XMCA).  I did that, and they're now up on my Web
site, as part of the HyperNews forum I set up in connection with my
presentation at the symposium.  You can get to them by pointing a Web
browser here:

(The short version is that I thought the whole thing was about
"uptake.")

After the session including presentations by Carol Berkenkotter, Pete
Medway, and me, we had a short and somewhat truncated inkshed.
After they'd been read, I gathered up the inksheds I could find and
transcribed the ones that referred to my stuff (I'd have done them
all, but I simply haven't had time).  I've now created a kind of
simulated HyperNews discussion which includes all those inksheds, and
the marginalia that accumulated, and put _them_ on the same forum,
here:

And if you want to have a look at my "interactive poster session," a
Web site which was running on a computer through the symposium, it's
here:

So.  There's everything you ever wanted to know about the SFU Genre
Symposium, except why . . .
