============

I updated  my Gopherhole a  bit. I added a  new article to  my /Gopher
Novice/ series. It's about zines because I had thought that there were
absent on  the 90's Gophersphere.  And it was  wrong. As I've  seen on
[Directory   of  Electronic   Journals,   Newsletters,  and   Academic
Discussion  Lists,  Tom  4]  there   was  a  significant  increase  in
publications  of  that  type.  And  many of  them  were  published  on
Gophersphere then.

I am still thinking about archiving sources that I'm reading during my
amateur research,  which I described in  my Phlog earlier. I've  got a
response that  I should  use Offpunk  but after a  quick test,  I came
across some difficulties. So that idea is still in development.

But my  thoughts about archives were  the source of my  new Gopherhole
section  /Gopher  News/.  There  are  many  zines  that  survived  the
Gophersphere  extinction and  they are  about Gopher.  So we  can read
original  breaking news,  and what  can be  put on  the timeline  on a
single point. And that citations  of zines could create something that
is absent now  in Gophersphere. Because apart from  the 2007 archives,
there   aren't  available   any  earlier   and  original   content  of
Gophersphere. It  isn't easy to  find those sources but  probably they
aren't as  rare as I thought.  It's also time-consuming to  go through
them in search of only a single  topic. But you can look at results so
far at [Gopher News].

I  was able  to identify  many of  the [writing/zines/part1  94/01/26]
connected with computers,  where I suspect there  is information about
Gopher.  So   there  are  for  example:   [The  Amateur  Computerist],
[Birmingham  Telecommunication News],  [Computer Underground  Digest],
[CPU: Working  in the  Computer Industry],  [Scream Baby],  and Voices
from the Net].
