Scott Guthery, whom I've known since Symbolics days (daze?), has approached me with an interesting idea: a followup to HAKMEM -- a sort of "where are they (the ideas/topics) now?" I think that Scott's idea lies very much in the realm of a kind of festschrift, but this time for HAKMEM itself, rather than for a particular individual. There has obviously been a ton of progress on nearly every one of the topics from HAKMEM, so one could conceivably write a whole chapter to go with each of the topics -- at least for the more interesting topics. Perhaps the author of the original topic might have first crack at an update of the topic. I suggested to Scott that organizing this might take a while (years), so it might end up being "HAKMEM at 50". Scott is the publisher of a little press, which seems to be involved in topics like computers/maths, etc.: http://docentpress.com/ Are any of you HAKMEM contributors out there interested in participating/writing ?
