My plan is to publish this database of freebee databases (hereinafter "Freebee Metabase") on line in some appropriate place(s) as soon as I have enough entries for it to be meaningful. The Freebee Metabase will be updated monthly (or more often, if necessary). Please contribute to the Freebee Metabase by sending me mail with the following information: 1. Name of the database. 2. Description of the database, the more detailed the better. 3. Address of the database's computer. 4. How to get access (that is, whether the database is accessible through FTP or TELNET or via a listserver, and what the procedures are). 5. Whether you can get to the database via a guest account, thus making accessibility especially easy (and if not, how to get an account). 6. Anything else you think is important (including in what other newsgroups you think this notice should be posted). In return, (if you want) I'll put your name on a subscription list and send you updates as they're ready, saving you the trouble of checking around for them. Questions and comments welcomed.
