Subject: Resources

Folks,

Thanks to those of you that answered the call so far.

Let me just emphasize in addition to my proposal (below) that it is
perfectly fine to list published resources that are, or rather seem,
irrelevant to the focus of Lowlands-L.

So by all means submit information for instance about your knitting school,
dog grooming site, algebra textbook, photograph album or experimental music
CD. Commercial services are all right to list as long as it does not amount
to blatant advertising on the pages that mentions them.

Keep 'em coming!

Reinhard/Ron

> 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)

> 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
