This guy is also producing a documentary on the BBS. A worthwhile and
notable project.

How is the UUCP revival project progressing, by the way? This might be a
good way to get the word out about it. If that's desired right now.

I've started work on the other vital site needed for the documentary:
A complete and total list of every BBS software package ever made for
any computer. I'm already aware this task is impossible; but the
least I can do is take a good shot at it so I can look at different
sets of packages for a computer and do the Right Things.
The Right Things, in this case, are to try and contact the original
authors of the software, and reach out to any underlying communities
still using the software.
I'd like it if people could start taking a look at the list and let
me know about gaps, or point me to locations where there's more
information about the software. No sense plugging up this mailing
list with those; just mail them to me.
