emv@starbarlounge.cc.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) (02/19/89)
Here's my current anonymous ftp site list. It gets hacked
up every so often, but there has been no huge amount of
effort put into keeping it 100% up to date or accurate.
The comp.archives stuff is a much more thorough attempt to
keep track of a lot more information about each archive site.
Unfortunately it seems doomed because of a long lag time between
the time an interesting thing shows up on the net and the time
someone notices.
A more reasonable approach would be for some responsible person
to watch each newsgroup & maintain a similar list of archive
sites on a group-by-group basis. Jon Granrose (odin@ucscb.ucsc.edu)
has done this for comp.graphics.
Note: if you don't have anonymous FTP access yourself but you
are a uunet customer, they will FTP stuff for you and then uucp
it to you.

[...] This approach has the drawback that ``some responsible person'' has to do the (tedious) work of watching one or more newsgroups and posting the archive lists. A compromise might be to get people to start using the format already used in comp.archives as part of their normal postings in other newsgroups, with a cross-post to comp.archives. An automatic filter mechanism could be used to extract the archive information and store it in a database, similar to that used by some sites to maintain uucp maps. -- Keith Moore UT Computer Science Dept.
