Greetings. The satellite broadcast netnews experiment will be
getting underway in just a few weeks, and it's time to start
worrying about the collection of materials for broadcast. I'm
already planning to send some of the mod.* groups and some of the
moderated fa.* digests, but there are a lot of other useful groups
that would also be suitable for broadcast if appropriately screened.
I would appreciate it if anyone who would be willing to act as
a "screener" for netnews materials for the satellite experiment
would get in touch with me by mail as soon as possible. The idea
is to get a group of people, each of whom screens a certain segment
of netnews and filters out the unsuitable and repetitious materials.
Each would then encrypt the messages deemed suitable (using a
special program I will provide) and mail them off via UUCP to the
satellite gateway (the sitename I have chosen is "stargate").
Once at the gateway, they will automatically be decrypted and
scheduled into the satellite data stream on a repeating basis.
It would be helpful if volunteers were on machines willing to
call the gateway (in the Atlanta area) directly, but this is
not a requirement.
Thanks much.
