Postings from this on the web

[Brian High]

Hello scn at scn subscribers,

As of tommorrow, Nov. 15th, 1998, all postings of this list will be made
available for viewing on the web.

The URL for the archives will be shown at the bottom of each message (in
the footer) posted to this email list (scn at scn.org).  This will make the
archives on the web will be easy to find and will also make it clear that
postings end up there.

The decision to go ahead with this was made final by the SCNA Executive
Committee, after a proposal made by the User Services Committee and the
SCN Webmaster.  The letter posted recently to this list announcing the
possibility of posting scn at scn list archives to the web did not yield
sufficient complaints to prohibit this action.  However, if you do have
complaints or concerns, email you comments or questions to 
webmaster at scn.org.

The URL for the archives is:

http://www.scn.org/volunteers/webmasters/scn-l/maillist.html

The files are indexed by date or by subject and appear as one web page per
message.  Because there is a subject index, the archives can be said to be
"threaded".  This makes it easy to keep track of a single conversation
among the many which go on concurrently on scn at scn.

Again, these archives will begin to show up on Nov. 15th.  Every midnight,
the day's messages will be posted there, and a new monthly archive file
posted there as well, in gzip file format (*.gz).  

These monthly archives will be plain-text files, one per month, which can
be opened with WinZip, among others.  The messages will be one appended to
the next, in chronological order.

The hope is that, by making the discussions here more available to
World Wide Web users, we will encourage greater participation and better
communication.
