The Tuesday evening of CT97, 15 July, we contemplate having an open discussion on the future of publication in category theory. Questions that are likely to come up: Are the paper publications really dying? (With diminishing library budgets, one Vancouver area university has been forced to cancel both Cahiers and JPAA, and with limited library space, no longer has available on its shelves journals more than 10 or 15 years old.) How do we provide for archiving in such a situation? What are the opinions of the current editors of our journals? We're fortunate to have TAC. Is there need for a wider range of styles of publication? What are the alternatives? Is CD-ROM a possibility? (Might it give us again the freedom we had in the early volumes of Springer's LNM -- or would that be a good thing?) Would it be better to have an e-archive, like q-alg? How? Where? Would it be secure, a lasting archive? What is to be learned from existing or past examples: Imperial College, Hypatia, triples.math.mcgill, the Sydney category seminar? Frequently papers appear which the authors subsequently wish they could change. And terminology changes over time -- as we begin to understand what it was we were trying to say. Might we want to have "papers" or "books" that can be modified over time (with ongoing version numbers as we have now for software)? For the most basic and important works, might we prefer something that approaches what Bourbaki intended to give us: works that would evolve over time and never to go out of date? (Bourbaki's vision preceded the development of media that would make it possible.) And how do we want to treat the proceedings of CT97? At first, papers should be available by ftp on math.ubc.ca, but what do we want in the long run? Art Stone
