Searchable OSLIST - Need Some Keywords

[Chris Corrigan]

I remember we had this conversation a few years ago.  The archives are
publicly accessible and have been for a long time.  After the
conversation a number of years ago, I wrote the Frequently Asked
Questions document for the OSLIST (now at http://tinyurl.com/2acbb (that
short little link takes you to the wiki page.)  Section four of the FAQ
reads:

"4. Is the list archived and publicly accessible?

Yes, the list is archived, and all material posted to the list is also
posted to the archive. The archive is publicly accessible, so you may
wish to keep this in mind if you choose to post to the list.

The archives can be read and searched by visiting
http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html

>From time to time, discussions and postings to the list find their way
into other forms, such as the User's Non-Guide, onto websites, or
forwarded to others who are not on the list. List members should be
aware that posts to the OSLIST are public, and posting to the list is
generally understood to mean that your thoughts are okay to be shared
with the rest of the world.

If you would like to use material that has been posted to the list,
please quote the source of the material, and maybe let that person know
how you are using their words."



If there is a need to clarify the givens about the list further or make
changes to the FAQ, I would invite anyone who wishes to do so to edit
the wiki page, or email me with suggestions.

In the meantime, perhaps I'll just post the FAQ again under a different
header.

Cheers,

Chris

our

> Open Space Technology, OSLIST, organization transformation,
