- 2.2 Are there archives of SCA information that I can access?
-
- Yes. There are several sites that contain various files of SCA
- information, including this file, Corpora, the Heraldic Rules for
- Submission, the Online Armorial, several kingdom's laws, rules for
- combat, and so on. Each site has a different collection of
- material, so you may need to investigate more than one to find what
- you need. Contact your local system administrator to learn how to
- use anonymous FTP to retrieve these files. Those without FTP access
- should send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with "send
- usenet/news.answers/finding-sources" in the body to find out how to
- do FTP by e-mail.

- 2.3 Does anyone have a contact in ...
-
- There are files at meadow.stanford.edu available for anonymous
- FTP that may be useful in finding people in various places. Also see
- the Rolls Ethereal.
-
- /pub/findsca.txt
- /pub/rolls.txt
-
- 2.4 What are the Rolls Ethereal?
-
- The Rolls Ethereal list people on the Rialto, at least name and
- electronic address, and often interests, location, and awards. The
- Rolls are maintained by Justin du Coeur (justin@inmet.camb.inmet.com)
- and are distributed at intervals of anywhere from 6 to 12 months.
-
- 2.5 What's this alt.sca I found?
-
- The first SCA newsgroup was named alt.sca. When the traffic grew
- to a respectable size, we moved to rec.org.sca because the rec
- hierarchy gets better distribution. alt.sca is currently defunct, but
- still carried at some sites. We recommend that users of alt.sca move
- over to rec.org.sca, and ask their system administrator to remove
- alt.sca from their system, to avoid future confusion.
