Further thoughts on VUNIC [was Re: Announcing VUNIC/VUnet]

[For those who wish I'd just get to the point, please feel free to skip to PART 2.] PART 1 Geez, I had no idea there'd be so much interest in this! In fact, I'm becoming concerned that we may be off-topicing classiccmp too much. I can easily set up a mailing list just for VUNIC/VUnet and then we could post monthly updates to classiccmp to reduce list load the list. My other thought is that the folks at the UUCP Mapping Project offered to let me take it over if I would maintain the map database GLOBALLY. With as many knowledgeable folks as there are around here, maybe that isn't entirely unreasonable. It seems like a public service that we, as vintage computer collectors, could do for the 'general public' (if you can call uucp nodes that) to generate interest and good feelings for us. In addition, it's a nice useful thing to do with vintage or scrounged hardware. PART 2 SO what I'm going to is draft some Articles for VUNIC/VUnet and then locate people to specific tasks. Of course, I'll be at the top of the food chain. =-D But I'm a very benevolent dictator. ;-D I also give credit where credit is do and am not into taking all the glory for myself. =) At any rate, I'm planning on officially beginning this process on July 1 when I put the web site online. In the meantime, if you'd (meaning anyone) would like to help with specific tasks and have experience with doing those tasks, please let me know so I can starting building lines of communication. Thanks! I'm VERY excited to see this becoming a reality. Anthony Clifton
