The CCCC Committee on Computers in Composition and Communication (7Cs)invites all interested institutions to submit proposals to host Computers and Writing (CW) 2007 Online.

Because we are in the midst of revising the proposal process, please ignore the deadlines on the web page for proposing to host CW 2007 online. Please note that the online conference need not follow the models of the past either in timing or in format. And we can offer any team expert advising in the timing or in format.
