People have been talking for a while about setting up some kind of
system to communicate between Amiga users' groups, but due to lack of time
and money, this has never happened.
This isn't really a solution I'm offering, but a bit of a start, maybe...
A lot of groups have members with access to the net; I'd like to start
exchanging newsletters, etc. via ab20.larc.nasa.gov. Postscript format
seems preferable to me, for several reasons: More people have access to
PS interpreters/printers than to specific DTP programs; it lharcs into
relatively small files; there's less chance of having your newsletter toyed
with by unauthorized persons.
The March and April issues of "Amiable News", produced by the AmigaNetwork
users' group in Newark, DE, are available for on ab20 in the directory
/incoming/amiga/USERGROUPS/AmigaNetwork. If you're a member of a users'
group and have access to your newsletter in electronic form, please upload it
there (into a directory named after your group) so the rest of us can see it.
Thanks!

Here is a thought about newsletter sharing: Would a MODERATED NEWS GROUP be justified for the posting of the news letters for Amiga user groups? Or possibly a general group for newsletters of all computer groups. I for one would be interested in the articles from other Amiga groups and I am sure there are others that would be interested also. I would shy away from putting these up in any format except clear text but I might not have thought this part through enough yet. Zoo'd IFF pictures might be nice, but not required. Being a moderated group all discussions would be routed to the applicable sub-group such as this one (amiga.misc). I do not know how to formally request this, nor do I even know if this thought should be persued. What do you think?... Flames to /dev/null, normal responses to the net. Monty Saine
