Conferences
WSWG 22
19-21 May 2006, University of Massachusetts at Amherst

WSWG 22 continued the plan begun the previous October at WSWG 21, and focused especially on the details of a forthcoming collaborative book. The sessions were largely free-form, and some topics had to be rearranged because of travel delays. An outline of the adjusted schedule is given below as a matter of record.
