There's been a resurgence of activity on the classics-faq editors
mailing list with regard to writing and publishing a list of Frequently
Asked Questions (with answers) for the newsgroup.  This will serve as a
reasonably definitive resource guide for the Classics on the Internet.

Here is a repost of the introductory article for the feedback mailing
list (which is the default Reply-To:) of this article.  If you have any
suggestions or submissions, or wish to be a contributing editor, drop
us a note by replying to this post.

(Since we have several volunteers already, one would need both strong
credentials in the field and a good track-record of initiative and
completed projects to join.  A new contributing editor would be expected
to write a substantial part of the proposed FAQ, as well as undertake
the research and ongoing correction/maintenance that such a document
would require.)

A feedback mailing list for the future sci.classics Frequently Asked
Questions List is available for feedback, submissions, and
administrivia.  Its address is:

                 >>> classics-faq@unomaha.edu <<<

Mail sent to that address will be relayed to the FAQ coordinators (mail
sent any other way, such as to individual editors, may be lost, delayed,
misdirected, or ignored entirely):

Editor-in-Chief:

Sharon O'Neil                        oneil@unomaha.edu

Nathan Torkington                    Nathan.Torkington@vuw.ac.nz

Staff member of the Computing Services Center at Victoria University,
Wellington, New Zealand.  Extensive FAQ experience, including the
maintenance of FAQ postings for alt.fan.pratchett (Terry Pratchett is a
very popular British science-fiction writer) and a soon-to-be-published
FAQ-FAQ (that's right, an FAQ about how to write FAQ's, or lists of
Answers to Frequently-Asked Questions) for news.answers.

Technical Coordinator:

Paul Schleck                         pschleck@unomaha.edu

Extensive FAQ experience, serves on FAQ coordinators lists for
rec.radio.amateur.misc, rec.radio.amateur.packet, and rec.radio.cb
newsgroups, also knowledgable in shortwave and satellite programming
in the classical languages.  Maintains classics-faq mailing list.

We could certainly use 1 or 2 more people to serve on the list.  The
coordinators list provides contributing writers and editors to the FAQ
list, an expert panel to ensure FAQ accuracy, and a team of friendly
people to handle various FAQ "customer service" issues.  I've strived to
make the technical administrivia of mailing lists and posting mechanics
transparent to the editors.  If you have some degree of
subject-expertise, a lot of enthusiasm, and you can send and receive
E-mail, you can participate. 

If you would like to volunteer, send E-mail with your qualifications to
the coordinators mailing list address (the default Reply-To: of this
message).
