Conference Report [English] Bernd Wingert's report focuses not on computer science aspects, but on the "applied topics," as for instance problems of reading and interaction. It covers the discussion of issues like pragmatics of linking, hypertext variants and readings, publishing, and authorship as designing http://www.dichtung-digital.de/2000/Wingert-22-Dez Hypertext 2000 [German/English] "A rather subjective conference report" by Anja Rau http://www.dichtung-digital.de/2000/Rau-5-Sep Hypertext 2000 - Reading Room Trip Report [English] Susana Pajares Tosca introduces the hypertexts presented in the Reading Room of the Hypertext Conference 2000 in San Antonio / Texas: Deena Larsen's Dancing in Your Soul, Robert Kendall's Penetration, Marjorie Luesebrink's Califia, Jane Yellowlees Douglas' Uh, dad? and The Unknown by William Gillespie, Scott Rettberg and Dirk Stratton. http://www.dichtung-digital.de/2000/Tosca-12-Juli InterSzene - Symposium zu Theatralität und Oralität im Netz [German] Authors, activists, and scholars from Switzerland, Austria, and Germany discuss projects with, in, and out of Internet with a special emphasis on authorship, inscenation, and media jump.

[German] The jury refuses to award the prize to any of the entries in a digital literature competition. This incident raises serious questions: How should such competitions be set up? How should one evaluate whether an example makes an appropriate use of the genuine features of digital media? Is there such a thing as net literature at all? http://www.dichtung-digital.de/Verschiedenes/Literaturcafe 1. Netliterature Competition Ettlinger 1999 [German] A short remark on the 1. Ettlinger Internet-Literaturwettbewerb 1999 lists the prizewinners and links to their projects as well to the judges' address. www.dichtung-digital.de/Verschiedenes/Events/Ettlingen99.htm HT 1999 - Back to the Roots [English] Bernd Wingert's "Back to the Roots" is a detailed review on the 10th ACM Hypertext Conference, which convened in Darmstadt in February 1999. It reports on such different issues as generating glossary links in a semi-automatic mode, adaptive hypermedia systems, conditional linkage, visualization of relationships, and gives a helpful survey of various theoretical approaches to the reading of hypertext-based literature. The review also repeats some of the questions we all carry around: How to bridge the chasm between writers and designers? Doesn't the labyrinthine reading situation with hypertexts make readers, as David Durand put it, like rats running through a tunnel and hunting for "juicy information"? http://www.dichtung-digital.de/Autoren/Wingert/14-Dez-99
