knuth wrote an open letter on just this subject that was very

I wonder if it would be okay to make a meta-web page that points to
each authors homepage where they have their papers for each person that
presented at a conference.

I certainly think we should somehow centralize an index to papers on
haskell. I have found it extremely difficult to track down papers for
authors that have since moved out of academia or have passed on and
don't have their personal homepages with their papers anymore.
