Part 1 of 3 - Relocation of FAQ I am changing ISPs, and the "official" copy of the SeeSat-L FAQ is moving with me. It is now at: http://home.att.net/~sue.worden/SeeSat-FAQ/ If you link to the FAQ, please update your URL to the new address. I know that some of you also maintain mirror copies of the FAQ. If so, please download fresh file copies from the new site. In the current files, I have eliminated references to the "status" file and to the previous FAQ URL. Part 2 of 3 - Proposal for FAQ When we first started putting a FAQ together in 1997, we discussed the pros and cons of plain text files versus HTML files on the UseSat list. At that time, the decision was made to stick with plain text files, primarily because there were SeeSat members who did not yet have web access. I believe this reason is no longer valid, and I propose to convert the FAQ to HTML files. Please direct any discussion of this proposal to UseSat, *not* back to SeeSat! (If you have an opinion on this subject but are not subscribed to UseSat, send an email to UseSat-L-request@satobs.org with the word "subscribe" in the Subject line and an empty message body.) Part 3 of 3 - Call for FAQ Update Volunteers The FAQ is a product of this entire group, and your help is needed to get it updated. Even if you consider yourself a "newbie" to satellite watching, you can contribute. Some FAQ sections are highly technical and require an author/updater with a strong background, but other sections can be written/updated by *anyone* on this list, who is willing to spend some time researching and organizing information. Jeff Hunt already has "dibs" on Chapter 1. Volunteers are needed to update the remaining twelve chapters. Take a look at the existing FAQ and pick out a section, a group of sections, or an entire chapter, that you'd like to work on, then send me email and let me know where to add your name in the FAQ Contributors list. --Sue Worden (sue.worden@worldnet.att.net) <-- NOTE NEW ADDRESS SeeSat-L FAQ Editor ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
