Right now the gopher has only one entry for BBS list (well, there are two,
but both are about the Turning Point and should be combined, or replaced
with something current and explicitly written for this purpose).

If the administrator(s) of the gopher are willing to post an address for
gopher submissions and a protocol for same, then eff-austin readers
could check the gopher to see if their BBSs (or their favorites) are
listed - and, if they're not, send data. A question for Dave: Can we
get permission to duplicate the RETSOF list here?

The infinite-hierarchical-list structure of gopher makes it perfectly
adapted for this type of information.

[The moderator and Gopher co-administrator responds: Good idea.  Send
plugs for your favorite BBSes to riddle@rice.edu and I'll put them into
Gopher.  If there's a definitive Austin-area BBS list, I'd like to
include that as well.  The problem with this, of course, is that BBS
listings are likely to get out of date very quickly -- if someone more
familiar with the Austin BBS scene would care to take on the job of
organizing and reviewing the listings in the long term, I'd be much
obliged.  -- Prentiss Riddle, riddle@tic.com]
