- >I haven't seem the sci.physics FAQ posted yet.... have I missed it?
-
- Yes. It is posted monthly, on or near the first of the month. There is
- also an E-mail distribution list, which I invoke any time there are significant
- changes, which is almost every month.
-
- Regarding Bill Johnson's suggestion that I update the FAQ and make it more
- user friendly: I most wholeheartedly agree that this is an admirable goal,
- one toward which I work constantly, if incrementally. The problem is
- finding volunteers. I do not want the FAQ to become "Physics according
- to Scott." I have often received volunteered material from well-intentioned
- people, but most of it has been unusable. Most of the good articles I get
- are the result of harrassment by E-mail of people who I know are qualified
- to write on various topics.
-
- I doubt that, even if we get many new readers for the new group, people
- will be significantly more giving of their time and energy. The result,
- I expect, will be continued, slow, and hopefully steady, increase in
- material. One day I hope to break up the FAQ into a series of linked
- postings on several topcics, such as QM, ASTRO, etc.
-
- One topic on which the FAQ is sorely lacking is EPR. Is anyone willing
- to take a crack at writing an EPR FAQ article? I make no promises that
- any one article will make it into the FAQ unedited. I will accept no
- material with an obvious "agenda." Just the facts, please. If you
- are interested in having me start to harangue you by E-mail to write such
- an article, let me know. :=)
