I've restructured the ReengineeringWikiSiteMap to take full advantage of the category mechanism -- it's automatically generated, and provides an overview of all ReengineeringWiki pages -- ArieVanDeursen

ProgramTransformationOrg is an excellent medium for hosting the homepage of events such as workshops and conferences. The homepages of the SwarmForum and the Workshop On Rule Based Programming are already placed here. The advantage of a wiki based event page is that it can be used to spawn discussions about the research area of the event, reviews of papers, forward links to later work, etc. I have added a list of wiki-based events at the top of the TransformationConferences page. Feel free to add your own event. -- EelcoVisser

I have completed the migration to DeCompilation. Already, it's the most popular single topic at ProgramTransformationOrg, heading for 1000 views as I write (see WebStatistics). The old site averaged about 4500 hits per month over the last 3 years. The Wiki version is already more extensive and up to date than the original. I'm hopeful that people will soon repay the investment I've put into the migration, and make it a really popular and useful site. -- MikeVanEmmerik

The header of each WikiWikiWeb page points to a list of all pages referring to that page. This can be used to form a categorization mechanism of wiki pages. By putting a link to Categoryx on a page in the x category, that page is shown in the list of pages for that category. CategoryCategory is the category of all categories.

When I designed and implemented the StrategoLanguage in 1998, I wanted to get an overview of existing TransformationSystems. I started to make a survey of the field. Since there is so much stuff around, I never finished it. To make the information that I did collect available anyway, I am starting TheOnlineSurveyOfProgramTransformation. The domain program-transformation.org should serve as the home for this survey. By founding the site on WikiWikiWeb I hope that readers will keep the site up to date. -- EelcoVisser
