Subject: Re: Using some list post in Limbo newsletter
I hope that eveybody agrees this would be a good idea. It would help promote
the list to the LimBo folks and help us get more contributors. If they could
abstract 1% of the list traffic I'd be suprised but it would draw some of
the non-computing holdouts in to our world.
If Gerry would go along with this (and you all think it would be OK), we
could amend the list welcome message to inform posters that if their
submissions are really good there is a chance their posts will appear in
LiMBO. This way noone would be suprised or bent out of shape over copyright
issues, though I find it far fetched that anyone would have an issue over
this anyway.
We could ask those who don't want their posts in limbo (for some odd reason)
to put "Not for Limbo" at the end of their messages, just to keep everybody
happy.
Now, can you imagine who would have the unhappy job of trying to decide
which of the incredible volume of excellent posts we get each month should
go in the NL?
Also, we could suggest in return that if Limbo is to be digitized for the
web site that perhaps large parts of it be blasted out on the list each
issue too.
