Evaluating Systems Papers
If there is one thing that academics are supposed to be better at than people from industry, it is writing about their work. If you have a good advisor, then during your formative years as a Ph.D. student he or she will teach you the rules of good paper writing.

without some kind of signed content? Note that any viable solution
must have a clear and straightforward incremental adoption path for
current RSS users.
