[gothic-l] Proposal for Germanic History List

[markhall at GOL.COM]

Tim,

Sounds fine by me.  I was just going to suggest something similar today now
that I had the time to deal with it.

Best, Mark Hall

> Regarding our recent discussion on Germanic history and the apparent
> lack of a recognised forum for its discussion:-
>
> I'm prepared to set up and administer a Germanic History and
> Archaeology mailing list via e-groups.com.  I'm proposing for the
> group to be as follows:
>
> Scope: Discussion of the history, culture, archaeology and source
> material relating to the early Germanic peoples from Prehistory to
> circa 800 AD.
>
> Moderation:  The proposed list will be unmoderated and open to any
> and all membership.  The administrator will have the task of ensuring
> members stick to accepted netiquette however and abusive, offensive,
> racist or otherwise disruptive posters will run the risk of exclusion.
>
> Home page:  The administrator will establish and maintain a homepage
> for the list, which will include access to the list archives, a
> collection of featured posts, articles and book reviews, links to
> other Germanic history resources and other material or features
> suggested by the list members.  This page will be submitted to
> appropriate search engines and webrings to ensure growth in
> membership.
>
> Language: Posts to the list will primarily be in English, but
> contributions in other languages will be welcome.
>
> Name:  Need some help here - Germanic-L?  EarlyGermanic-L?
> EarlyGermans-L?  Germania-L? Suggestions welcome.
>
> Of course, if no-one is interested I won't bother, but I think the
> way Gothic-L has moved from purely Gothic linguistics to Gothic
> history and now to broader discussions about the early Germanic
> peoples shows that there is a need for such a list.  I don't think it
> will be to the detriment of Gothic-L in any way and I'm sure most
> prospective interested members would stay members of and contributors
> to both lists.
>
> What do people think?  I'll do all the work, all I need is the
> support.
> Cheers,
