Sadly, idealliance have removed this superb resource from the web without
consultation. You now have to subscribe to access it. I doubt that many
people have done so, which means everyone loses.

Actually I'm not sure it's meant to be available only by subscription. At any rate, I can see a copy of the old Extreme proceedings, without a login, at

http://conferences.idealliance.org/extreme/index.html

Drill into this and you can find Dimitre's paper (the HTML version) at

http://conferences.idealliance.org/extreme/html/2006/Novatchev01/EML2006Novatchev01.html

But note:

* Drilling into it isn't easy, as when the materials were moved, the CSS was left behind, so these HTML files appear bare of CSS enhancements.
* PDF versions and XML source code of the papers appear also to have been left behind, as those links are broken.

I think that it's pretty dubious selling this content without consulting the
authors who contributed it, but they appear to be within their rights.

I hope this is a hypothetical question. :-)

I've resuscitated my papers from past idealliance conferences and put them
on my own web site.

I think that's an excellent idea.

Cheers,
Wendell
