Feedback on Tao Xie's Resource Collections

Feedback on Tao Xie's Resource Collections (please send feedback to him)

ACM SIGSOFT SEN 2007 July issue recommended our web sites in three places!!!

Software Engineering Academic Genealogy (I really appreciate that many faculty members and students in software engineering had provided new information to enrich the genealogy!)

I love your software geneology page. (08/07/06)
This year we undertook an aggressive e-mail solicitation with the help of Tao Xie’s family tree of academic software engineering research. This has resulted in essentially doubling the content ofour [Ph.D. dissertation] catalog, as well as heightening the community’s awareness of its presence. From 2005-2006 ACM SIGSOFT Annual Report
Here are some minor modifications to your intriguing web site... Thanks for taking the trouble to put this together. It is a valuable service to the community. (06/26/06)
Links to the Software Engineering Academic Genealogy have been added to ACM SIGSOFT Resource web and Dissertations Web. (06/04/06)
I looked through your page on SE Family. Nice tree (06/01/06)
It's interesting stuff, and I learned a lot about different advising relationships that I wasn't aware of. (06/01/06)

I looked at your wonderful web page on the SE genealogy. How in the world do you keep this up-to-date? I must have spent an hour marveling at some of these connections. (02/08/05)
I was surfing net today and found your SE genealogy, which is quite interesting. (01/04/05)
I enjoyed perusing your site. (12/12/04)
I was interested in talking to you about your work on the software engineering genealogy and the page on the acceptance rates of various conference. These are both great services to the community. The web pages that you maintain provide a profile of a particular slice of the software engineering community. (11/16/04)
Thanks for maintaining this extremely interesting tree. (11/10/04)
I just took a quick tour to your SE genealogy page. Great job! It's nice you've included most of the PL researchers as well, and it's a nice read. (10/27/04)
It is interesting. (9/17/04)
I'd seen the similar "theory" tree, but of course this more my current "family". What a mess we are! (9/17/04)
I came across your interesting web site, and I'd like to offer two corrections. (06/18/04)
Thanks for maintaining this genealogy... Wow, that was quick (update). (04/29/04)
I have come across with your genealogy web site, which I enjoyed very much! Thank you very much for your hard work. In fact, I was at XXXX2004 PC meeting in XXXXXX, and I learned some "facts" about who are related to whom, which explains discussions and arguments over the PC meeting. Very interesting. (12/25/03)
Thanks much for that. It's quite interesting. (11/16/03)
First of all congratulations for your work. It is nice to see the whole family together. (9/2/03)
The genealogy is interesting. I wonder whether there is a larger site that collects such data? If not, perhaps someone should create the larger tree of academic genealogy and start gathering input? Would be really interesting ... Now, I'm not suggesting that you be the one to waste their time to do that :-) (3/31/03)
I like your SE family tree. (12/6/02)
The genealogy is wonderful! How did you collect all that information? (12/1/02)
The SE family tree is great! You've done an amazing job with this. I didn't know my academic great-great-grandfather is ...! (11/23/02)
It is an interesting item for sure. Good luck extending that project. (11/12/02)
I ran across your genealogy and found it very interesting. (11/6/02)
