Decreasing the thinking I have to do to process a submission is helpful. The easier it
is for me to process as I see them, the more likely it is that I'll remember to do
something with them. I have a bunch of balls in the air right now, and frankly if I
can't deal with something in a few minutes, it gets deferred. I've got a couple of
big things
like a whole disk full of errata that Jay Jeager sent that hasn't even had the
envelope
opened yet. This is also why there is no contact information on bitsavers right now,

not actively seeking any more work to do.
Email attachments of a couple of megabytes work to me if your outgoing mailer can deal
with it. A tarball with a description of how to drop them into the heirarchy is the most
useful.
It probably is best if someone else wants to pick up the areas that I've not been
concentrating
on, particularly in the consumer computer space, which never has really been the focus of
what's
on bitsavers.

I sort into subdirectories too, but I match the directory layout of

Still, I include an "ls -lR" listing in the email so Al can see what's
there. ....and then you can email the FTP url to Al and
he can transfer to
bitsavers if he wishes.
That's how I do it and it works just fine.
Now that you mention this... I've done that in the past, too. But I would
need to send a (rather long) file list because I've sorted everything into
subdirectories.
