The new WAC website: towards a sustainable conference
Started in 2015, WAC is a young conference, but has also reached a maturity state with regular 1-1.5 year intervals between editions. There is however a lack of consistency between the conference proceedings which makes them difficult to index and find. Also, publications often include associated audiovisual media. We have created a centralized website with the proceedings indexed consistently combined with other relevant information. We have also developed a collection of guidelines and designed the website in a format that can be used by the forthcoming conference organizers. In this talk, we will present the new website, the project workflow, and the tools and libraries used for development. We will also reflect on the lessons learned and a set of recommendations to keep the conference sustainable.
