sure, i would be interested. i'd like a short (3 sentences?) summary explaining why the paper is interesting and a pdf.

you can often find preprints on people's web sites even when the final paper is behind a paywall. and sometimes if you email the author they will send you a copy.

Thanks. I will look into finding preprints.

I was thinking about sending a short summary and a link.

Would the paper abstract be enough? or you'd want an even more compressed summary?

What about both? :P

not the abstract. something more "explain it to a 5 year old" - so not exactly compressed, but simpler, with more background.

i don't think that this is so different to a blog, really. the hard bit is going to be consistency.
