Problems in 2004

• Domain registration failure on several occasions
  (down for several hours and in one case, days).
• Website was migrated on October 14 some
  problems since then with search engine and
  uploading.
• Search engine still returns some garbage in the
  first line of the descriptive information for a
  small number of papers.
• Search engine does not return some papers two
  cases have been reported.
• Both now OK since the migration and re-indexing

Progress in 2004

• The help text for authors has been updated,
  including
• tips on graphics insertion in Word
• recipe for avoiding Type 3 fonts in LaTeX
• Scanned conferences coming through and published
• Early EPAC conferences are being scanned

6
Unresolved Issues

• Funding for JACoW activities including domain
  name.
• Library data publication.
• Keywords list needs accelerator names review
• PAC95 has more on the CD than has been published
  on the web. I have been asked to add photos etc.
  but the CD is fully PDF and therefore it needs
  some html pages sorting out.

7
The Future ?

• EPAC is the first conference to only have
  electronic publication.
• This raises the question of it is worth numbering
  the pages
• A suggestion has been received that we should add
  a definition of how to cite papers published on
  JACoW
• Any suggestion as to how the library data should
  be made available ?
• Extract the data from SPMS and make a link from a
  new page on the JACoW website ?
