A New Look for WHISC
Mark Huynh has nearly completed a redesign of the department website. We got hold of the templates early, so we converted WHISC to the new look. Comments and suggestions most welcome!
Thanks Mark!

Correction: Mike Frank Spoke on December 10
Last week's WHISC reported that Mike Frank would be speaking in the Acquisition Lab on December 19. This was a mistake. He actually spoke in the lab on December 10. Unfortunately, he won't be returning on the 19th, despite what WHISC promised. Our apologies.

WHISC Going Monthly (And Out With a Bang)
This is the final weekly WHISC of the 2006-7 academic year. We'll publish on the final Thursday of the month for June through August, so keep the items coming.
Last week, we called for news, and we got it. This is a fat issue, and it reports on many major accomplishments and important events. A wonderful way to close the year! Thank you!

Big WHISC Before Summer
Next week's WHISC will be the final one of this academic year. For the summer, we'll move to a monthly schedule, publishing on the final Thursday of the month for June through August. We'll return to our weekly schedule on September 6.
It would be great to go out with a bang. So if you have exciting summer plans, please send Chris the details so that we can report on them next week.

WHISC Has Moved!
WHISC has moved to the Department's webserver, which is a totally amazing MacPro that is made entirely of science (thanks for the machine, Joe!). Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds:
We've improved the design in some subtle ways, and we've improved the backend significantly: proper database support and newer blogging software.
We'll work on proper redirection from the old WHISC home, to avoid link breakage and the like. If you notice anything amiss, please drop us a note.

Next Week: Final WHISC of 2006
The news flow has slowed as people deal with the craziness of the semester's end. So next week's issue will be our last of 2006. After that, we'll break for the winter break. We'll return to the regular schedule on February 1. So if you have lingering items, send them in now!

WHISC Turns 3 on Tuesday! We've come a long way: from plain-text, to plain HTML, to spiffy HTML, to the weblog format.

Note Well, Prospies!
This issue of WHISC has it all: new faculty, reading groups, parties, more workshops than you can shake a stick at, and robots. South College is an exciting place!

Thanks to Jan Anderssen
WHISC has moved to this new location and this new weblog format. Our thanks again to Jan for setting up the software and for adapting the existing departmental stylesheets to this new environment. The new WHISC looks just like the old WHISC, but it is much more useful and adaptable.

WHISC as a Weblog: Trial Version
This week's WHISC is being doubly published, in its usual format and here in this trial weblog format. Please let us know what you think. We are seriously considering a switch to this new format for WHISC.
The category features are a prime motivation for the switch to a weblog. The links are in the bottom right of the sidebar. The pages they link to have static URLs, but the pages are updated with new information as it appears in WHISC. So you could, for example, link to the archive page of the semantics reading group from your homepage, and the latest from that group would always appear at the top of the linked page. (Don't create such a link yet. These URLs will change when we move out of test mode.)
Our thanks to Jan Anderssen for figuring out that we could install MovableType and then going right ahead and installing it.
