- GNET: an Archive and Electronic Journal
-
- Toward a Truly Global Network
-
- Computer-mediated communication networks are growing rapidly, yet
- they are not truly global -- they are concentrated in affluent
- parts of North America, Western Europe, and parts of Asia.
-
- GNET is an archive/journal for documents pertaining to the effort
- to bring the net to lesser-developed nations and the poorer parts
- of developed nations. (Net access is better in many "third
- world" schools than in South-Central Los Angeles). GNET consists
- of two parts, an archive directory and a moderated discussion.
-
- Archived documents are available by anonymous ftp from the
- directory global_net at dhvx20.csudh.edu (155.135.1.1). To
- conserve bandwidth, the archive contains an abstract of each
- document, as well as the full document. (Those without ftp
- access can contact me for instructions on mail-based retrieval).
-
- In addition to the archive, there is a moderated GNET discussion
- list. The list is limited to discussion of the documents in the
- archive. It is hoped that document authors will follow this
- discussion, and update their documents accordingly. If this
- happens, the archive will become a dynamic journal. Monthly
- mailings will list new papers added to the archive.
-
- We wish broad participation, with papers from nuts-and-bolts to
- visionary. Suitable topics include, but are not restricted to:
-
- descriptions of networks and projects
- host and user hardware and software
- connection options and protocols
- current and proposed applications
- education using the global net
- user and system administrator training
- social, political or spriritual impact
- economic and environmental impact
- politics and funding
- free speech, security and privacy
- directories of people and resources
-
- To submit a document to the archive or subscribe to the moderated
- discussion list, use the address gnet_request@dhvx20.csudh.edu.
