---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Florida SunFlash Announcing the PUBLISH mailing list SunFLASH Vol 37 #16 January 1992 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This sounds like it might be an interesting new mailing list. -johnj ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Followup-To: publish-request@chron.com From: dae@world.std.com (Dwight A Ernest) Newsgroups: comp.lang.postscript,comp.text,comp.text.desktop, comp.periphs.printers,comp.sys.sun.misc,comp.org.sug Subject: Announcing the PUBLISH mailing list Summary: New mailing list is being formed: computers in publishing Keywords: publishing publish print printing postscript Date: 14 Jan 92 22:46:13 GMT At the 1991 Sun User Group meeting in San Jose, there was a BOF for those interested in using Suns in publishing. As a result of that BOF, a mailing list has been formed. Here is a slightly rearranged copy of the original creation announcment, which includes details about joining and posting. As you can see, although the original idea behind the list may have been limited to Suns in publishing, the list currently enjoys a much wider charter. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The PUBLISH mailing list is for discussion of the role of computers, specifically workstations, in book, magazine, newspaper, and other publishing. It also covers specific publishing-related implementation questions, including, but not limited to: * Printing and Scanning * Raster Image Processing * Text Tools * Image Processing * Document management * Available Software and Hardware * High-Bandwidth Interfaces * Integration with Personal Computers It is NOT a programming or system administration forum, although discussion will sometimes touch on these subjects. The charter of this list is certainly subject to modification through the general agreement of the members. Other suggested topics are welcome. Here are the relevant Internet mail addresses for PUBLISH: publish@chron.com submissions publish-request@chron.com requests to be deleted & added To join the list, send mail to publish-request@chron.com. Before sending a request to be deleted from the list, check with your local "postmaster" to see if you are receiving the messages via a local redistribution alias. If you are, then your local postmaster can remove you from the list far more effectively and quickly than I can. This list is NOT moderated! Anything mailed to the submissions address will be echoed to everyone on the list. Every potential poster is on his or her honor to not abuse this list! Messages sent to this list are archived, but are not yet publically available. Do not ask for old messages - the archive will eventually be made available and an announcement will be made. Please DO NOT mail "please remove me" requests to the submissions address! Please publicize this list! The more people that are on it, the more useful it will be. If you have any questions or corrections about this message, please send them to "sysnmc@chron.com". -- Matt Cohen INET: sysnmc@chron.com Department of Technology Resources UUCP: ...!uunet!chron!sysnmc The Houston Chronicle AT&T: +1 713 220 7023 801 Texas Avenue, Houston, TX 77002 "Quidquid Latine dictum sit, "Houston's Leading Information Source" altum viditur." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ For information send mail to info-sunflash@sunvice.East.Sun.COM.
