I would like to announce the launch of The Cleveland Freenet Memory
Project on October 1 1999. The project has two main goals.

The first goal is to preserve the knowledge, community and 
friendship generated by The Cleveland Freenet.

The CFNMP website attempts to accomplish the preservation with
several applications which include:

  A fully searchable database of all freenet hierachy newsgroups.

  If a message was on the news server under the freenet hierarchy
  as of this morning 9/30 it was captured into this database and 
  will still impart its knowledge to the future.

 An searchable Email/Webpage registry.

  The detailed user information from The Cleveland Freenet directory
  services was captured (community users, SIGOP aa accounts and
  SIG xx accounts only) and is browsable and searchable. If a
  forwarding address or a webpage is available it is listed with 
  this record. As well as the ability to update to current 
  email/webpage info.

The second goal is to to act as a clearinghouse for information
regarding, as well as organizing people, creating a New Community
Computer resource.

The applications assisting this are:

   A threaded webforum for discussions, announcements and news
  related to the past, present and future of Cleveland Community
  Computing.

   A community calendar listing events such as concept meetings,
   programming get togethers, beta testing schedules, SIGOP
   orientations, community steering commitee meetings, proposed
   launch dates of the various community projects and other events.

   There are also several groupware applications including 
   whiteboards,trouble ticket tracking, chat rooms and a private 
   webforum available to developer teams and beta testers of New
   Community Computer resources.

   The site is also hosting several evolving projects realted to a
   group of programmers who hope to replace the loss of CFN with a
   web-enabled Community system by new years day. They are taking
   applications for beta testers for November and SIGOP 
   applications for December. More information will be available 
   on the site.

The goal of this site is to bring people with ideas, programmers 
with the skill and the community with the drive together to show 
CWRU and the rest of the world the power of community computing 
resources.As well as the power, resolve and downright enjoyment of
the people that use them.

I will release the url for The Cleveland Freenet Memory Project
tommorow when the site goes live.

Thank you for your time. Feel free to send an e-mail with your
comments, questions and info. And Please forward and repost
this where relevant.

Virtually Yours
