Maybe you can help me. I write & maintain the document. A volunteer use to FAQize it for me and deal with the posting. Problem is he says there are all kinds of rules (that I don't know), including (to my mind, given that this is 1996 these days, with considerably different systems and computers, by and large, than people had in 1983...) rather too-stringent size limits, requiring that I split the file up into certain size pieces. And so forth. So, I've kinda not bothered. What do you recommend? The document is very much alive and well, on our web site, it's just not been posted as an "official" FAQ in a long time. I'm not sure what the "other parts" are. That may have been the adjuct FAQ, the Online Activism Resource List, or it might have been just the various pieces of the FAQ you mention (which is know these days as the Online Activism Organizations FAQ). pgreene@mit.edu typed: > > [This message was generated semi-automatically.] > > What's the current status of the posting > "ONLINE OUTPOSTS -- Cyberspatial Community Groups -- Local, Nat'l, Internat'l" > (and the other parts)? > The records which comprise the List of Periodic Informational > Postings, which we try to keep updated, state that it should be posted > every 21 days, > but as far as we can tell, it hasn't been posted since > 22 Mar 1995.
