- Hi Y'all-
-
- At the IAFA (Internet Anonymous FTP Archives) working group yesterday,
- a group of archive administrators agreed to work together to help prepare
- IAFA descriptions for existing packages in the archives. We'll be setting up
- a mailing list and wais archive, so that we only have to write a description
- of gnuplot once. We'll be setting up the list and starting cranking out the
- templates some time next week- all we need now are a few dedicated and rutheless
- accomplices...
-
- If you're interested in helping, please send mail to Peter Deutch
- (peterd@bunyip.com) or myself (ses@sunsite.unc.edu).
