Just a couple of quick answers
Yes, Martin, the discussion of affordances you have in mind was probably on
the Sleeping Beauty Eufrat. Some young guys there, eager to sort apart
concepts.
And Elizabeth, I'm not forgetting the request for contributors over
subscribers by gender, but preparing that for email takes some time,
because I feel obliged to do some more explaining about subscriber data
then. I'm not sure how comparable they are with contributor data, and very
sparse in some regions of time, they are.
Am I forgetting something? Yes, probably. Helen and Mike, about the
difficulties of fitting mailinglist participation into a busy schedule full
of responsibilities -- oh, gee, I think I am ALREADY quoting what I planned
to quote here: the most beautiful description of this situation was posted
by Genevieve back in 1994, how to "squeeze XLCHC participation into these
slivers of time here and there"... and how on top of it, she was regularly
cut off from phone connection in the midst of emailing by the signal from
the local radio station getting into the wires. An Angel Lin once said in a
posting that it was written on "stolen time".
regards
Eva
