Neil:
Thanks for the critique. We are in fact preparing to make a couple of the
changes you suggest. Starting the first of July there will be a Titles section
and a new Networking section. And maybe a surprise or two if we can work it
out.
Your files are in CDROM Production because these subjects are of the greatest
interest to producers. I'll have to look for Peter's file and move it there as
well. I'd be happy to institute a Standards section if 1) we can find someone
to serve as a section leader, who has the knowledge or at least the interest to
learn about related standards and seek out documents to upload, and 2) if we
can find a body of docs that are uploadable. Note that we have a late version
of High Sierra, but 9660 is copyrighted and controlled. Most final documents
are. The CDCINC doc from SIGCAT is great and I'd love to have more. But I
don't know what kind of impact we could have without access to JPEG, MPEG, et
al. Do you know some sources? SGML Open/GCA? HyTime? Even a file with a
decent directory to help people locate the sources of such documents would be
good, but I have tried twice now over the last couple of years to assemble such
a doc with no luck.
Would you be willing to participate on a regular basis? If you are free
tonight, we have a regularly scheduled conference. Maybe I can get John Nairn
to attend as well, and we could discuss some mechanics.
Thanks again, and I lok forward to hearing from you!
Best – Rich
