There's not as much posted in the way of questions asked on this as there is lobbying for support. I'm not sure that inclusion in an FAQ will reduce that noticeably. At any rate, this kind of info requires periodic update by someone with a pipeline to the sources of change. As a keeper of an FAQ for another group (sf-lovers), I've avoided questions like this mostly because I have no access to that kind of info, but also because I just don't have the time to keep changing the list. Things may change sufficiently slowly in the space arena that it's not as much a problem (I doubt it, though). > - Planetary probes (Larry Klaes did a nice one which I recall Eugene > posting in the past, it should still be available). Eugene still posts it periodically, I believe.

I'd like to propose some new FAQ topics. - Sources for digitized HST etc. images, and explanation of why digital data is not immediately available; ordering info for the Voyager CD. And related to this, how about a directory of net archive sites for space images? (GIFs, rasters, etc.) Especially since every request for such images is followed-up by a half dozen "me too"'s... -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Brian Yamauchi University of Rochester yamauchi@cs.rochester.edu Computer Science Department _______________________________________________________________________________

Well if people want to see legislation included in FAQ, I'm willing to write it and keep it current. >Things may change sufficiently slowly in the space arena that it's not >as much a problem (I doubt it, though). Depends. Current status will change every month especially (I hope) in the 102nd Congress. What bills are on the docket doesn't change much.
