[arg_discuss] 2006 ARG SIG Whitepaper: Available now from igda.org

[Adam Martin]

After eight months of hard work and hundreds of revisions I'm
delighted to announce that the 2006 ARG SIG Whitepaper is now
available for download from the ARG SIG website
(http://igda.org/arg/whitepaper.html).

A huge thank-you to all the poeple who've helped make this happen. I'm
very proud of the final paper, and even more so for the fact that
everyone's time and expertise was freely given. This is a great
achievement, and since we came up with the idea at the 2006 GDC Group
Gathering our volunteers have: had a new baby, been hospitalized, and
created and edited literally hundreds of different revisions. It's a
tremendous achievement.

There's a contributors list at the start of the paper, but once again
here's the people you should thank:

- Bryan Alexander, Director of research, National Institute for
Technology and Liberal Education
(NITLE)
- Nova Barlow, Research Manager, Themis Group / Playerbase Solutions
- Tom Chatfield, Editorial Assistant, Prospect Magazine
- Christy Dena, Cross-Media Entertainment Researcher, School of
Letters, Arts and Media;
University of Sydney
- Andrea Phillips, ARG Writer, Mind Candy
- Brooke Thompson, Cross Media Entertainment Consultant

Please use the whitepaper.html URL given above when citing the paper
to other people, so that if the paper gets moved or renamed we can
keep that one URL in place.

Now ... who's up for another one, same time next year?
