Hi Stef --

What do I gain?

Hmm... you will share your ideas with others. Chances are, that the documented result will be of a quality higher than what you would write here on the list. Just because you commit to some deadline and people that are willing to review and comment on your work. Plus, it will be archived in the ACM Digital Library for years to come, which has a reputation better than what you could self-publish on some website.

It's worth it. You will learn a lot while writing about your topic. New ideas will emerge. The mere fact that you are not working directly on the project but writing *about* it can give you a new, fresh perspective.

Here are proceedings of some past PX editions:

Finally, we will put it here: https://squeak.org/research ^__^

Best,
Marcel

I would be happy to share my experience on this topic; but what
incentive is there for me, as a non-professional programmer, to engage
in hard and time-consuming work to produce a submission? What do I gain?
