If you missed the deadline for paper proposals, 
but want to highlight your latest work you have 
until December 31, 2006 to propose to demonstrate 
your Web site.

If you'd like design-related feedback, you can 
have your site featured in the Crit Room. See 
http://www.archimuse.com/mw2007/interact/index.html#crit

There's also the ever popular Usability Lab as a 
way of getting a real-time assessment on your 
site. See

We're also looking for topics (and conveners) for 
Birds of a Feather Breakfast, and new Birds of a 
Feather Lunch Tables. Let us know by email to 
mw2007@archimuse.com if you have an idea for 
discussion or would like to get a group together.

- Join Us! -
MW2006 participants say Museums and the Web 
"stimulate[s] new ways of seeing in both the 
museum + virtual world". We hope you'll join this 
group of  "smart, passionate people, grappling 
with issues that matter" this April, in San 
Francisco.

All the best,
