[net.announce] announcement of UUCP mail project

ksh@cbosgd.UUCP (05/03/84)

I am pleased to announce to the UUCP community, a project that is currently
underway to map the UUCP network.  This project is being funded by the
Usenix Association, for the benefit of the entire UUCP community.  A copy
of the full proposal is available in net.mail.  This proposal was approved
at the early April meeting of the Usenix Board.

In addition to the mapping effort, we hope to make several pieces of
mail routing software available as a part of this project.  I will be
posting monthly progress reports to net.mail, and will be happy to answer
any questions and accept comments about the project.  We will also be
giving significant progress reports at the Usenix meeting in Salt Lake City
in June.

I would also like to encourage everyone to cooperate with our data collection
efforts that are underway.  Rob Kolstad (convex!kolstad) and Scott Bradner
(wjh12!sob) will be contacting UUCP sites to gather contact and connection
information.  These requests are being sent to site!root and site!uucp
when no other contact information is available.  If your site has not
received a form, please fill out the form that I am posting to net.mail
and send it to either Rob (sites beginning with letters a-m) or Scott
(sites beginning with letters n-z or other odd characters).
