    Proceedings are generally much too long to be posted to 
    newsgroups, and I think trying to do this would upset a fair 
    number of system administrators.  Newsgroups are better-suited 
    to the discussion of some of the more interesting articles. 
     
    Since this topic is basically an advanced development of the
    object-oriented paradigm, I would think that the proceedings
    should be published in conjunction with SIGOBJ, an ACM SIG on 
    the object-oriented paradigm which is presently in the works.  
    For now, the object-oriented discussions are taking place under 
    either the SIGPLAN (SIGPLAN => Special Interest Group on Programming
    Languages) banner (e.g., OOPSLA proceedings) or the SIGSOFT
    (Software Engineering) banner; discussions should be held with
    both of these SIGS if SIGOBJ doesn't get created in time.
