This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Hi folks,

I will post the three abstracts of Symposium papers on the list next=20
week. I'm still waiting for Peter Wright's proposal, although I do=20
have an idea of what he'll be doing (its on Fifth Head and post-
colonialism).

As for publishing them - there is obviously a place for them  in the=20
Winter edition of Ultan's Library, depending on any contributions we=20
receive from other writers, but I'm exploring avenues for publishing=20
the papers as a small book. Obviously the latter course is more=20
exciting!

I do hope that we can muster enough support for a substantial=20
second edition of the journal. I'm thinking about including a short=20
'Notes & Queries' section, in which specific points (possibly=20
explored on Urth/Whorl) can be discussed. Nigel has also=20
suggested that a full commentary on the Book of the New Sun=20
would be a desirable project (and a long one!) which could perhaps=20
evolve as a feature of the journal.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Jonathan
