Those of you who got the previous DOC CD (or heard me talk about it) know that: 1. I had nothing to do with it. 2. I was not particularly pleased at how it was put together. To be specific, it wasn't very easy to use and the data was not provided in a format that lent itself to searching or re-use. Now, as a direct result of #2, #1 has changed - I'm going to do the next DOC CD and I'm currently looking over ways of presenting the data. My basic concept so far is that I'll provide the news in its original form along with a tiny "nntp" equivalent that just delivers the news off the CDROM to a standard newsreader configured to point at localhost, and the mailing lists will be provided also in raw form with a pre-created glimpse databse for easy searching. Anything else people would like to see on this CD, or ways in which they'd like the news/mail indexed? Please speak up now! :-) Thanks! Jordan
