- CuD IS IN THE COMP.SOCIETY USENET HIERARCHY
-
- We continue to receive queries about the change-over from
- alt.society.cu-digest TO COMP.SOCIETY.CU-DIGEST. By now, your system
- should have switched over. It appears that there are glitches (or
- sysad tardiness) on some systems. If your system IS NOT receiving the
- comp version, check with your sys ad.
-
- WEEKLY SCHEDULE:
-
- CuD remains committed to a weekly schedule intended to publish about
- 50 issues a year (with a two week break over Christmas). The recent
- twice-a-week schedule is temporary, owing in part to a surge of
- material. The anticipated issue on the Software Publisher's
- Association (SPA) will be out in about two weeks followed by a second
- issue of responses.
-
- SUBMITTING ARTICLES TO CuD:
-
- The switch to the comp hierarchy has led to an increase in inquiries
- about submitting articles. A summary of guidelines for longer articles
- is available on request and may also be obtained from the FAQ
- (frequently asked questions) list provided when requesting a mail
- subscription. In general, we encourage all reasonable articles related
- to some aspect of "cyber-culture" that have something substantive to
- say. We do not publish 2-line "me too" agreements or 1-line "the
- previous poster should be shot" flames. We encourage opinions,
- debates, news summaries, book reviews, conference notices, conference
- summaries, legal information, research summaries or articles,
- technical blurbs, or other issues that are of interest to the diverse
- interests of computer culture.
-
- MAILING LIST GLITCHES:
-
- We apologize to those on the mailing list for the occasional mailing
- glitches (empty mail, garbled subject). The mailing list has increased
- by nearly 25 percent in the past two months. We had assumed that the
- change to the comp hierarchy would reduce the list, but for every
- reader that's switched to Usenet, we've added two who can't access
- Usenet. So, we've experimented with a primitive batch mailer that's
- not yet perfected. Let us know if there are any problems.
