From the CFD: # Examples of potential topics to be discussed in comp.archives.d : # # Managing FTP archives, Tools for managing archive sites, # Using archive sites, Archive User Interface issues, # Archiving generated problems, Mail based archive servers, # Future of archiving Ed Vielmetti writes in article # also # discovering archive sites, # searching internet catalogs of archive information, # intercontinental coordination & mirroring, # newsgroup archives, indexes, searching and retrieval David Datta writes in article <10360@uwm.edu> # # A Generic FTP-How To # Normalizing/genericizing archive structures ... as well as two other methods that have not been brought up yet, UUCP and NFS accessable archives and the methods for establishing and maintaining them. The idea is to discuss archives in general, FTP, UUCP, NFS, Mail-based servers. It is not focused on a single type of archive access. Many maintain archives as corporate resources with no external access outside of their companies. All are welcomed to participate. I hope this clarifies any confusion on the focus of the group. -Kent+ -- Kent Landfield INTERNET: kent@sparky.IMD.Sterling.COM Sterling Software, IMD UUCP: uunet!sparky!kent Phone: (402) 291-8300 FAX: (402) 291-4362 Please send comp.sources.misc-related mail to kent@uunet.uu.net.
