"In other words, whatever publishing model underlies the development and maintenance of large scalable Web services in the Higher Education sector, it isn't fully realised in the technology used to deliver the services. Much of what is delivered via the Web still involves a good deal of manual activity. This half-way house position isn't a place where Web Managers and Editors want to be. So it is quite odd that this is where we are, among a community which has been so intimately involved in the early development of the Web."

ken /ken/ n. 1. [Unix] Ken Thompson, principal inventor of
Unix. In the early days he used to hand-cut distribution tapes, often
with a note that read "Love, ken". Old-timers still use his first name
(sometimes uncapitalized, because it's a login name and mail address) in
third-person reference; it is widely understood (on Usenet, in particular)
that without a last name `Ken' refers only to Ken Thompson. Similarly,
Dennis without last name means Dennis Ritchie (and he is often known
as dmr). See also {demigod}, {{Unix}}. 2. A flaming user. This was
originated by the Software Support group at Symbolics because the two
greatest flamers in the user community were both named Ken.
