Hi, all - quick update,

The online-deliberation.net URL is down for some reason. The domain
hasn't expired, so I'm trying to figure out why it's not working and will
try to get it working again. Probably a server issue at Stanford.

The book proceedings for OD2005/DIAC-2005 should be out in print and online in
early '07. Watch for an announcement.
