Hello I recently received the following request concerning the cellular automata mailing list archives. In principle, I have no problem with it (the archives are currently publicly available by anonymous FTP anyway), but I wanted to bounce the idea off of the membership of this list before giving my OK. If you have any strong objections to my making the list archives available in this way, please let me (ca-request@Think.COM) know asap. (PLEASE DO NOT COPY THE ENTIRE LIST.) I will post a summary of responses (if there are any) and let you know what I finally decide. Your friendly list administrator, -- Bruce M. Boghosian | Internet: bmb@think.com Thinking Machines Corporation | Bitnet: bmb%think.com@mitvma.bitnet 245 First Street | Phone: (617) 234-2140 (work) Cambridge, MA 02142-1264 USA | FAX: (617)-234-4444 ======================================================================= To: cellular-automata-request@Think.COM Subject: Request for Permission/CMU AI Repository Date: Wed, 07 Jul 93 20:21:54 -0400 From: Mark Kantrowitz <Mark_Kantrowitz@GLINDA.OZ.CS.CMU.EDU> Greetings, Carnegie Mellon University is establishing an Artificial Intelligence Repository to contain public domain and freely distributable software, publications, and other materials of interest to AI researchers, educators, and students. The AI Repository will be accessible by anonymous FTP and AFS without charge. The contents of the repository will also be published by Prime Time Freeware as an inexpensive mixed-media (Book/CD-ROM) publication. We would like permission to include the following material(s) in the AI Repository and CD-ROM: Archives of the CA mailing list. For software materials it would be helpful, though not absolutely necessary, if you would provide us with a brief description, keywords, official contact information (names, email/postal addresses, phone numbers), and any associated mailing lists. If there are any other materials which you feel would be appropriate for the repository (e.g., refereed publications, tech reports, theses, mailing list archives, programs, and other repositories), we would appreciate hearing about them. For your information, here is a precis of the CD-ROM: PTF for AI is a periodic collection of AI-related source code and documentation. PTF for AI in no way modifies the legal restrictions on any package it includes. The upcoming issue (1-1; Summer, 1993) will consist of an ISO-9660 CD-ROM bound into a ~100 page book. It will contain ~600 MB of gzipped archives (2+ GB uncompressed and unpacked). It will sell (list) for $60 US. Publishing the repository on CD-ROM will make it available to a wider audience, and provide more convenient access for sites and individuals who want their own copy of the repository. Please let us know if we may include your work. Please inform us, as well, if there is any reason (cryptography, etc.) why your work may not be exportable from the US.
