It's a really resourceful link, I watch today and for example I find this presentation
It's named Quadtree displacement mapping with height field blending and it's from the team in charge of Two worlds 2 developers. It was at time clearly over my head but nevertheless interesting.
Basically the pages is updated so there is no need for further update, really resourceful link I owe to Alstrong.

Thanks I'll update the main list ;)

@Nano thaks for the link too but it was already in the "beyond prgrammable shader" from siggraph 2009
it's id tech challenges.

By the way I add some link I found in the 3D tech forum interesting stuffs about a Siggraph 2009 available on bungie.net
the same page pointed to AIT pages too with a lot of content too.
 
Some updates, by the way could somebody find a better name for this thread... I'm growingly unhappy about it :(
