Subject: Resources

Dear Lowlanders,

I would like to propose putting together something we should have tackled
much earlier in my opinion: a web index of Lowlands-L members' on-line and
off-line resources and projects. In other words, what I am proposing is a
web catalog of our members' works that are available in electronic and/or
printed forms.  This is apart from individual works displayed in our gallery
(http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/), but the two may be linked where possible.

This is an opportunity for all of you to advertise the resources you have
made available. The emphasis -- i.e. top-billing -- will be given to (bodies
of) works that are at least partly relevant to the focus of Lowlands-L.
Works that are not at least in part relevant will be mentioned on a lower
priority level. On-line resources will be briefly described and linked to
directly. Off-line works, such as magazines, books, CDs, videos and works of
art or craft that have been published in one way or another, will be briefly
described, and details of their availability will be provided, preferably
each with a picture and/or sound or video clip where possible. Included are
works of collaboration in which at least one collaborator is a member of
Lowlands-L. While we cannot make this a commercial enterprise, resources
that are for available for pay will not be excluded. Services you offer for
pay can be briefly mentioned and linked to in your bios, but this may not
amount to outright advertisements. (For instance, "X lives in Y where she
works as a contract computer programmer," "The owner of <link>Robo-Gerbil
Productions</link>, X visits international business contacts on a regular
basis," "X makes period dolls' underwear which she offers for sale at
<link>Shrunken Knickers</link>,"  "X has been a member of the professional
male belly dance troupe <link>Saif wa Sāghāt</link> for six years and trains
hamsters in his spare time").

Please feel free to begin submitting information to me (sassisch at yahoo.com)
under the subject header "LL-L My Resources"). The following information is
required:

On-line resources (Web pages, blogs, etc.):

   - Person's name
   - Person's (general) location
   - Title of resource
   - URL (Web address)
   - Language(s) used
   - Very brief description of resource (in any language)


Off-line publications (printed, recorded, etc.):

   - Person's name
   - Person's (general) location
   - Title of resource
   - Publication details (publisher, place, year, ISBN number, language,
   price)
   - Very brief description of resource (in any language)


The following material is not required but would be very welcome:

   - Very brief biographical sketch
   - Personal picture
   - Picture(s) of cover or sample
   - Audio or video clip
   - List of publications
   - Contact information


To give you an example, Andy's and Sandy's well-known Scots on-line
resources (http://www.scots-online.org/, http://scotstext.org/) , Michael's
on-line Appalachian resources (http://www.cas.sc.edu/engl/dictionary/) and
Marlou's on-line Low Saxon magazine (http://plattpartu.de/) would get
top-billing, but I would not feature them if Andy, Sandy, Michael and Marlou
did not request that I do so.

Let's think of a title for the catalog! Any suggestions? How about the
following?

*Lowlanders' Catalogue*
A directory of resources offered by members of Lowlands-L

*Look 'em up!*
A directory of resources offered by members of Lowlands-L

Thanks in advance for your ideas and participation! As for inclusions and
exclusions, please do not make assumptions but rather ask and make
suggestions if in doubt.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
