P2269@com.qz.se ("ENG-LEONG FOO ", MIRCEN-STOCKHOLM) (10/05/89)
From: Eng-leong Foo (Sweden) I am currently accumulation materials for my report for a UNESCO Contract which was received for the creation and initiation of activities of this BIOSCI bulletin board BIOCONVERSION. In one of the sections of my report, I would like to consider other secondary access to information distributed by BIOCONVERSION. Many of you receive BIOCONVERSION directly from one ot the available mail distributors. Others may read BIOCONVERSION from a local bboard or conference which have been created for users at a mail or conferencing system. For example in Sweden BIOCONVERSION is available @COM.QZ.SE in a conference called BIOCONVERSION STOCKHOLM, or in Finland it is available @COM.KPO.FI in a conference called BIOCONVERSION KPO. I am interested to collect such information. If you have helped create such bboards or conference for secondary access of the BIOSCI bboard BIOCONVERSION, please let me know. Your help would be greatly appreciated and would make my report more complete. In another sub-section of my report, I would like to collect information on "co-participating bboards". By this I mean bboards or conferences that select notices for external distribution via BIOSCI's BIOCONVERSION. For example: @COM.QZ.SE there is a conference (since 1984) called ANAEROBIC DIGESTION TECHNICAL. Messages from this conference are also mailed into the BIOSCI's BIOCONVERSION. In a similar way, from the CoSy computer conferencing system at Guelph in Canada, selected messages from the conference BIOCONVERSION/COMPOSTING are also being distributed via BIOSCI's BIOCONVERSION. I would like to collect information of such nature. If you have arranged such mail transfers from such "co-participating bboards", please let me know. I hope to be able to collect all information for my report by the end of October so that I could submit the report by the end of November. Your early response would therefore be most appreciated.
