Hi ---
I have three "quick" points, in no particular order:
1.) The searchable archive of museum-l mail will be updated with
May's correspondences within the hour. The archive can be reached
by gopher'ing to ucmp1.berkeley.edu and then choosing the menu
called Mailing Lists: Micropaleontology, Mollusca and Museum-l and
then choosing the item called Museum Listserver Archive. The
search mechanism is very simple.
2.) The question about "freedom of information" is of course
an important one. But lets get past some of the rheoteric and
try to deal with some issues about why information would NOT be
free on the Internet. I am really curious what information
would be worth your money... what would you personally pay to
see on the Internet (dont get too imaginative). I bet that
your answers will be the similar to the marketing schems that people
may decide to pursue, if there is commonality.
3.) Since I am sitting here at the Sante Fe Institute, I was wondering
if the Internet might not be a very good example of a complex
system replete with emergent properties and rules and all that
sort of thing. Anyone have any ideas along these lines??
