HyNIC: ACM SIGWEB's Digital Library Project
Inspired by Doug Engelbart's and John Leggett's keynote addresses at the Hypertext'98 conferences, SIGWEB is beginning to design a state-of-the-art digital library to support the community in most of its functions. The project's eventual goal is to transition SIGWEB into what Doug Engelbart calls a Networked Improvement Community (NIC), which focuses on continuous metaimprovement of services to the community. HyNIC eventually will contain a respository of the community's formal and informal documents, teaching materials and memorabilia; a process repository of the community's activities and workflows; a structured group communications environment, conceptual mapping tools, and of course, the full range of hypermedia features our community has been advocating. HyNIC also should serve as a testbed for the community's prototype systems.

Improving Ajax Applications for JAWS users
Popular screen readers use a virtual buffer to allow users to interact with web content, whereby the virtual buffer provides a mechanism for screen reader users to interact with web content. This article uncovers undocumented behaviour in JAWS 7.1 and later, which allows web developers to build Ajax applications that update the virtual buffer without any interaction from the user.

Indexing the Web is not a simple task, and what is evolving to meet the informational needs of Web users are three different kinds of indexing: a back-of-the-book style of hard-coded index links within a Web site, subject trees of reviewed sites, and search engines. Some organizations are seeing that including indexes on their web sites is just as important as including indexes in books and online manuals. We've seen some good and some bad, some computer-generated, some obviously not constructed by professional indexers, and some professionally prepared. In any case, all site owners should be commended for recognizing the need for an index.
