A few days ago I posted six suggestions for new services.  The response I 
got was quite huge.  I also got a number of volunteers for running said
services.  Here is an update on what is going on:

1) Bestiary of the Known Lands:  This is now the province of Clinton Wolf
who can be reached at wolf@cheshire.oxy.edu  .  I don't know what format
he intends to use, so if you have a submission you should mail him first.

2) Atlas of the Known Lands:  Aaron Humphrey will continue to handle this
list, although it may be split off from the Tourist's Guide to Generica
if it gets too big.  Aaron's address is aaron@space.ualberta.ca   .  It
is also likely that Dennis Brennan at djb6@midway.uchicago.edu will be
helping on this project, since he wrote most of it anyway.  :^)

3) This Week In Review:  I will likely handle this one, unless somebody
beats my door down looking for the job.  If you are managing a thread,
send me a weekly one-or-two-paragraph summary of what happened from Sunday
to Sunday and I'll include it.  Otherwise, I'll just sum up from what I
read, and you'll have to take your chances that I don't screw your story up.

4) The Suggestion Box:  Most posters and emailers seemed to be of the 
opinion that this would have limited utility.  You may well be right.  At
the moment, nobody will be doing anything like this.  If you want to do
it, though, be my guest.

5) The Bulletin Board:  This has been taken on by Mike Sander at 
344LWKC@CMUVM.CSV.CMICH.EDU  (at least, I think that's the right address.)
Send your 'notes' to him for a weekly posting.

6) The Alias List:  As somebody reminded me, I forgot to mention that this
listing is obviously just for UNIX users.  I've already sent a few copies
out; all I do is copy the aliases straight out of my alias file.  Hence,
they are all in the form "<alias> = <realname> = <address>" and are ready
to be copied into your own alias files.  Mail me if you want a copy.
