To provide a new member benefit, without a large startup or maintenance cost, Gary Perlman, the 1995-97 ACM SIGCHI Vice-Chair for Publications, proposed creating a timely, web-based, informal, practical publication for SIGCHI members. This would be a Track 2 publication to provide a bridge between practitioners and research scholars, as described in the ACM Electronic Publishing Plan. Some publications that come to mind that might be models for columns include:
"ISSN" | http://www.acm.org/sigchi/chiweb/ |
Interim Editor | Gary Perlman |
Frequency | Monthly |
Medium | World-Wide Web |

Editorial Policy | Informal articles for practitioners on such topics as:
