This is from the WWW2006 Organisers

Due to a serious fire at the University of Southampton, UK, the www2006.org website and mailing lists are temporarily unavailable. THE SUBMISSION PROCESSES have been unaffected by this fire, only information about the submission url, deadlines, tracks, document formatting etc has been affected. A temporary replacement website has been set up with all the information for submitting papers, panels and tutorials.

The deadline for paper submission is UNCHANGED. It remains 4th November 2005 midnight Hawai'i time. The panel and tutorial submission deadlines are also unchanged. Access to the format instructions on the web site has been patchy. We therefore WAIVE the formatting regulations. Submitting a 10 page pdf document in any format is sufficient.

TEMPORARY WWW2006 WEBSITE: http://www.soton.ac.uk/~lac/ SHOULD be visible at www2006.org but we know that this isn't always the case due to networking irregularities.

DIRECT ACCESS to the paper submission website: www.openconf.org/www2006/.

TEMPORARY EMAIL FOR ENQUIRIES: lescarr@gmail.com.

Information about the fire can be found at: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/4390048.stm.
