[mod.sources.doc] Welcome to mod.sources.doc

brian@sdcsvax.UUCP (Brian Kantor) (03/10/86)

Welcome to mod.sources.doc.  This newsgroup is intended for the
distribution of public domain documentation.  Items such as protocol
descriptions, user's guides, tutorials, and the like are welcome.

This is a moderated newsgroup.  I'm temporarily serving as moderator
and archivist.  (This group was originally created some months ago, but
it seems that the newgroup messages didn't make it to very many sites.)

Since documents of the sort that we expect to carry in this newsgroup
are quite large, I don't intend to send more than one or two a week.  I
will usually split them up into pieces no larger than 56KB or so each,
if the document is really that gigantic.

The default distribution for items posted to this group is 'na', thus
restricting the spread of these articles to the North American
continent only.  I am considering methods of supplying the archive
contents to overseas sites that want it; it may be as crude as mailing a
tape a couple of times a year.

If you have something you'd like to submit for posting, please send it
to me at either of these addresses:
	...!sdcsvax!archive
	archive@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu

I'll try to get it posted in a day or so.  If I have some reason why I
don't think your item should be posted, I'll discuss the matter with
you by electronic mail.  I'm usually a reasonable person.

Please let me know if you have any complaints or recommendations
regarding the conduct of this group.
	- Brian
