I can bitch about the ICCA occasionally, but I'm glad it exists and I wish it
was thriving, rather than slowly contracting.

I think the situation might improve if people from the ICCA were more actively
involved in places like this, Gambitsoft's forum, the CSS forum, etc.  As is
they inhabit the academic world, which isn't going to get you very far at two
copies per university.

They need to go where the people are, and there are a big bunch of them here.
You are more likely to send money to someone if you know them, you know what
they are up to, etc.

Everyone is trying to get Bob to write a book, offering to buy the first copy,
etc.  If the ICCA guys were here, everone would be trying to get them to write a
book.  But hey, they do write books, and they have a quarterly journal, too.
They also put on events.
