2.1.1 What other mailing lists of interest are there?
|
|
|
|
There are lots of other mailing lists that may be be of interest
|
|
to SCA people. Here is a listing of some of them. To subscribe,
|
|
send mail to LISTSERV@<host address>, where <host address> is the
|
|
part of the address for the list you're interested in that comes
|
|
after the @ sign. The mail should have nothing in the subject line,
|
|
and the body of the message should consist of nothing more than
|
|
SUB <listname> <yourname>
|
|
where <listname> is the name of the mailing list you are subscribing
|
|
to (the part *before* the @ sign) and <yourname> is your name. Many
|
|
of these lists are places where modern-world scholars communicate,
|
|
and therefore are not places where persona is appropriate -- use
|
|
your modern name.

2.2 Are there archives of SCA information that I can access?
|
|
|
|
Yes. There are several sites that contain various files of SCA
|
|
information, including this file, Corpora, the Heraldic Rules for
|
|
Submission, the Online Armorial, several kingdom's laws, rules for
|
|
combat, and so on. Each site has a different collection of
|
|
material, so you may need to investigate more than one to find what
|
|
you need. Contact your local system administrator to learn how to
|
|
use anonymous FTP to retrieve these files. Those without FTP access
|
|
should send e-mail to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with "send
|
|
usenet/news.answers/finding-sources" in the body to find out how to
|
|
do FTP by e-mail.

ftp.nau.edu [134.114.64.24] directory /sca
|
|
maintained by wew@naucse.cse.nau.edu (Bill Wilson)
|
|
bransle.ucs.mun.ca [134.153.2.24] directory /pub/sca
|
|
maintained by andrew@bransle.ucs.mun.ca (Miklos Sandorfia)
|
|
|
|
2.3 Does anyone have a contact in ...
|
|
|
|
The best way to find a contact in a particular area or group is
|
|
to look in the Rolls Ethereal.
|
|
|
|
2.4 What are the Rolls Ethereal?
|
|
|
|
The Rolls Ethereal list people on the Rialto, at least name and
|
|
electronic address, and often interests, location, and awards. The
|
|
Rolls are maintained by Justin du Coeur (justin@inmet.camb.inmet.com)
|
|
and are distributed at intervals of anywhere from 6 to 12 months. They
|
|
are available for anonymous FTP access at bransle.ucs.mun.ca.
|
|
|
|
2.5 What's this alt.sca I found?
|
|
|
|
The first SCA newsgroup was named alt.sca. When the traffic grew
|
|
to a respectable size, we moved to rec.org.sca because the rec
|
|
hierarchy gets better distribution. alt.sca is currently defunct, but
|
|
still carried at some sites. We recommend that users of alt.sca move
|
|
over to rec.org.sca, and ask their system administrator to remove
|
|
alt.sca from their system, to avoid future confusion.
|
|
|
|
2.6 Where can I get songs and lyrics?
|
|
|
|
There are a number of sites that archive song sources. Many of
|
|
these are dial-up sites, requiring the use of a modem. Please do
|
|
not ask for technical help with this on the Rialto -- there are sure
|
|
to be better sources of this information close to you.
