Hello all (and especially Steering Committee),
I’d like to request a personal web, so that I can develop some of my Ph.D. work publically, and solicit comments and discussion from other nLabbers. I’m pretty much the only serious category-theory person here at Trinity, so it’d be enormously helpful to have a way to discuss this stuff with people who know more about it than I do. I’d also like to develop material (such as synopses of papers and that sort of thing) that might not belong on the nLab proper, but parts of which would make it there eventually.
I’d also like to hear whatever thoughts you might have on developing thesis material in this way. I don’t foresee any serious problems with attribution and originality (any more than would arise from face-to-face discussions), but perhaps you feel differently. What experiences have you had with publishing stuff that has been developed on nLab? Any other comments or insights you could share would be greatly appreciated too.
In case you’re interested, my thesis is about developing an ’n-point of view’ on realizability constructions and a couple of similar techniques in theoretical CS. I think (or hope, or intuit, or whatever) that they should turn out to be (much) the same thing, and that viewing them abstractly could make them applicable to a much wider variety of systems than just intuitionistic logic, λ-calculus, etc.
I’ll initiate a decision by the steering committee on this. I am certainly in favor of giving you a personal web.
Great, thanks!
