- Carl,
-
- I take your link as one -- well, for you, two -- votes for Jeffs idea. Of the
- ideas that have surfaced so far, I consider the following to have particular
- merit:
-
- 1) Jeff's MacApp.Daily$ and MacApp.Weekly$: This allows people to have daily
- or weekly access to the MacApp discussion on a controllable basis (i.e., they
- know what they're in for when they doubleclick the item in their inbox window).
- The disadvantage is that it requires an especially dedicated volunteer to
- collect, compress, and post the daily traffic.
-
- 2) The notion that people could have two Applelink addresses, one public for
- normal traffic, and one reserved for inclusion in MacApp.xxxx$ and/or other
- group addresses that generate awkward ammounts of traffic. This too is
- controllable. And if Applelink administration is willing to allow such a thing
- (at little or no extra cost) it has the advantage of avoiding the requirement
- for a dedicated volunteer to administrate the links. But I have no idea what
- impact it may have on Applelink administration. Jessa, any ideas there?
-
- 3) Absorbing good bbs behavior into the Applelink Mainframe. This is the ideal
- solution, but is unlikely to be done for at least a year, perhaps two.
-
- If we can find a volunteer to do reliable daily maintenance, I like the first
- idea. Otherwise, I hope we can do something along the lines of the second
- idea. If neither works, I think we should simply stick with the present
- scheme.
