-
- Here is a list of known GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTIONS.
-
- o PLEASE. If you don't know what a distribution is, DON'T SUBMIT ANY!
- o If you don't know what a distribution is, do not ask me because I don't
- know. Post. Maybe someone else can explain it to all of us.
- o PLEASE. If you have questions, POST. I do not know the answer. Really.
- o PLEASE. Use the subject line of the list you expect to be updated.
-
- o The list is not complete, nor necessarily correct.
- o Please feel free to add to it, or point out things that shouldn't be there.
- o If you note inconsistencies or misspellings, please send them along as
- "corrections". No mistake is too small to correct.
- o It is now presumed that all previously existing distributions have been
- added, and any new distributions must be submitted under the "new" rule.
-
- o PLEASE NOTE that any submissions not in the correct format will be
- discarded without notification by an apathetic computer.
-
- o When you send an update, please do not quote this article back. Simply
- note your corrections. Otherwise your submission may be discarded by an
- apathetic computer.
-
-
- HOW TO CORRECT THE LIST:
- ========================
-
- NEW DISTRIBUTIONS:
- ------------------
-
- In order to add a NEW distribution to the list, its request must be jointly
- submitted by at least two system administrators prepared to state they are
- using it (not just planning to use it). What this means is that you must
- send the request in, and cc your friend, who must *do the same*!!
-
-
- DELETIONS:
- ----------
-
- If someone mails me a message saying "DELETE distribution foo", then
- I will post the request to news.admin.misc. If there are two replies
- in the next 60 days from the date of the distributions post, saying
- "don't delete it, I still use it", then the distribution stays else it goes.
-
-
- FORMATS:
- --------
-
- One of "NEW", "DELETE", or "CORRECT".
-
- NEW distribution: City/COUNTY-PROVINCE/STATE/COUNTRY
- DELETE distribution: City/COUNTY-PROVINCE/STATE/COUNTRY
- CORRECT old entry|new entry
-
- o The "distribution tag" should be lower case. The others should be upper
- case iff they have been defined elsewhere as a distribution. If it *has*
- been defined, then please use the actual distribution tag.
-
- o If a distribution has *not* been defined, then please spell out the name
- in lower case and mark it with an asterisk (*);
-
- DO NOT USE YOUR POSTAL CODE. See "aa", "ne", and "pnw" for examples.
-
- o The first word or words after the colon (:) (but before the first slash)
- should describe the word before the colon, completely. The first character
- after the colon is a space, one space only.
-
- Thanks!
