From: utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!editor-p Newsgroups: fa.editor-p Title: E-P unavailable Dec. 18 till Jan. 3 Article-I.D.: ucbvax.381 Posted: Thu Dec 16 20:42:21 1982 Received: Sun Dec 19 11:58:12 1982 >From Admin.JQJ@SU-SCORE Tue Dec 14 18:50:42 1982 To: EditorPeople:; Reply-To: Editor-People@SU-SCORE Editor-People's home computer, STANFORD-SCORE, will be down from Dec. 18, possibly until Jan. 3. The SCORE machine is being relocated at Stanford, and replaced with a brand-new 2060. Until the new SCORE is back on the air, please hold off your submissions to Editor-People. Incidentally, Editor-People has fallen into inactivity recently. I hope that the new year will bring greater interest and activity; after Jan. 3, please don't hesitate to send your comments/opinions/research results on text editing! I would be particularly interested in seeing: o Comparisons of various existing editors, and suggestions for tools or techniques to be used in objective comparisons. o Reports of new editors available or under development. o Research in human factors that has direct bearing on editor (particularly command set/user interface) design o Research in systems programming or algorithms that has bearing on the implementation of editors. For example, ideas on distributed computing or display/window management. o Reports on the interaction between editors and hardware. To what extent are such things as bitmapped displays, mice, or color displays useful in editors? I hope to hear from you in January. /the editor -------
