::fibreculture:: who's got the recode mailing list archive?

[geert lovink]

Hi everyone,

anyone remembers the ::recode:: mailing list? It was one of the predecessors
of Fibreculture. The list started in early 1998 and closed somewhere in
2001. The list archive is no longer online and that's a pitty in terms of
community memory. It's also bad for researchers. I spoke about this with
Scot McPhee of autonomous.org, the sys admin of the server that ran recode,
but he no longer has the data. It would be great to bring the data back
online again, before they vanish. Does anyone has the complete list archive
as a sub folder of a mail program, somewhere? We'll deal with the format
issue later on.

Best, Geert

:::recode:::

Dear colleagues, I am writing to invite you to subscribe to a new mailing
list for Australian new media practitioners, critics, writers etc. The list
is called :::recode::: and will operate via email. The list was initiated
during the Code Red event in November 1997, with the purpose to create a
nationwide forum for discussion, exchange of ideas and information. For
those of you not familiar with mailing lists, the principle is
simple....you subscribe to the list and recieve all postings to the list
through your mail box. You can respond to the postings or initiate
discussions by posting to the list...as there will be no moderation, all
postings go directly on to the list. The list is also a forum for
publishing your recent essays and articles. It is hoped that the
:::recode::: list will expand into the Asia Pacific region, to widen the
scope of our regional dialogue.

Please feel free to foward this letter of invitation to friends and
colleagues who may be interested in subscribing. Below you will find some
more information on :::recode::: and addresses for subscription etc.

All the best, Julianne Pierce
