Having a CD of the current confenerence is great. Having a CD of the whole conference series is greater. Especially with <A HREF="slide0031.htm#Automatic cross references">cross references</A> between the talks. Why not include previous years?

PerlPointCD supports archives by treating a <A name="index_29_185"></A>type level directory <FONT COLOR=red><B>"<A name="index_29_186"></A>Archive"</B></FONT> special. It is handled as of a special type <FONT COLOR=red>"archive"</FONT>, holding directories of type <FONT COLOR=green>"workshop"</FONT><SUP><FONT SIZE=-2><A HREF="#workshop level hint">2</A></FONT></SUP>. Every <I><A name="index_29_187"></A>workshop level</I> directory is the root of a usual <A name="index_29_188"></A>directory structure as known for the current conference, containing type, author and talk directories.
