Thomas Kenny IFNA node 107/316 The First Echomail Conference List Echomail Conference List, Issue 1, Number 1 (1/13/87) Copyright (c) 1986, Thomas Kenny. All rights reserved Duplication and/or distribution permitted for noncommercial purposes only. =================== ATTENTION ECHOMAIL COORDINATORS AND CONTACTS! PLEASE send updates to IFNA node 107/316 Deadline for the next issue is 3/1/87 ==================== A special condensed FidoNews Edition of Echomail Conference list will be released monthly. The format is still a bit experimental. For now it's just a list of conference titles followed by the name or node of who to contact if you want to connect. The more complete format showing approximate traffic levels, all Nets carrying each conference, and the date of the last update is available as an ARCed file from 107/316 as a SEAdog File Request or by logon. If you are interested in helping to distribute updates to ECHOnnn, contact: Echo Conference Scribe Thomas Kenny 107/316. We are HOPING for utilities to be written which will update the list without anyone having to do any work at all .. and with noone paying any phone bill whatsoever to distribute it But, until BIGMAGIC.EXE gets written, we will be asking Echo Conference Coordinators to send Netmail to 107/316 letting us know the Name of the Conference, who carries it, the "AREA:????????" name, and any information helpful to potential participants. Then we'll type up the list. It's a crude and inelegant method ... but it gets the job done. =========================== When the "contact" is listed in parentheses it means that the conference is NOT currently active but the person listed is interested in STARTING a conference on the topic.
