I don't suppose regular editions of an 1100 line FAQ would be welcomed, but I
could put together a much short post, just describing raif, it's purpose, and
so on. Would this be a good thing, or is it considered poor form or spamming
or something? After all, we don't like it when people post to raif about
some book review magazine or amazing, wondrous, and
spiffingly-ultra-fandabulous new hypertext novel.
Which groups? ATM I post the FAQ weekly to raif, and monthly to rgif,
rec.games.programmer, comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.adventure, and the mac version of
the same. If I went ahead with the above idea I'd post the FAQ itself only
to r*if as usual, and post a shorter advert/"just to let you know" type post
every month
- rec.games.programmer
- rec.games.design
- comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.adventure
- comp.sys.mac.games.adventure
- comp.sys.acorn.games
I could tailor these posts to fit the group (i.e., only Inform is available
for Acorn's, so I'd emphasise that system in c.s.a.g). I'd probably need a
hand for other newsgroups. I would also expand such a post to cover playing
IF as well as authoring IF -- more an advert for IF than for raif.
Anyway, is this worthwhile? Would I just get sent to hell? Can anyone think
of any other newsgroups? People who read these groups, would the membership
stand for it?
