Greetings -- This is a periodic info posting for people reading
Learning-Org.

First of all, "Listeners" are always welcome here! There is absolutely no
requirement to send msgs to the list. Enjoy!

Topics:
0) Volunteers!
1) How to get the "info file" about learning-org
2) How to spread the word
3) How to leave the list (either temporarily or permanently)
4) Whom to contact if any problems
5) Is there an archive? an index?
6) My role as host

0) Volunteers
----------
Web Search -- John Paul Fullerton <jpf@mail.myriad.net> has graciously
created a web page explaining how to use the Web search engines (e.g.
Lycos and AltaVista) to find material which has been on the Learning-org
list. See his search page at

http://www.rtis.com/nat/user/jfullerton/search/

MS Exchange -- Doug Blair <dblair@ix.netcom.com> can help people who are
participating in learning-org via Microsoft Exchange.

I'm looking for volunteers who would create a "tips" sheet and reply to
questions from subscribers about participating in learning-org from these
environments: AOL, Compuserve, Eudora, Notes, Microsoft Network, etc.

1) How to get the "info file" about learning-org
----------
For information on Learning-Org -- the internet discussion of the
Learning Organization --

Via the Web, the URL is <http://world.std.com/~lo> and the last
three characters are "tilde-el-oh," not "dash-one-zero."

Or, email our faithful robot, majordomo@world.std.com

The subject line is ignored; begin your msg with these two
lines:

info learning-org
end

If you have trouble, please *forward* whatever indicates that there is a
problem to the host Richard Karash <rkarash@karash.com>

2) How to spread the word
----------
Please copy the few lines in #1 above and pass them on to anyone
interested. Please do not give someone just the list address -- that's
*only* for msgs to be distributed. (When people send "subscribe" requests
to the list address, this doesn't work and it's extra work for me. Please
help me avoid these.)

3) How to leave the list (either temporarily or permanently)
----------
The *first* step is to determine whether you are on the regular list or
the digest list. The subscriber base is kept separately, and if you send
your request for the wrong list, you'll get back "Sorry, you're not on
the list..."

To leave the learning-org list send email to majordomo@world.std.com

The subject line is ignored. In the body of the message
unsubscribe learning-org
end

If you're on the digest list, then
learning-org-digest

...instead of learning-org (don't forget the hyphen before "digest"!)

Problems? Please email your host Richard Karash <rkarash@karash.com>

4) Whom to contact if any problems
----------
Email me anytime with comments, questions or problems. My address is:

Richard Karash <rkarash@karash.com>

5) Is there an archive? an index?
----------
Yes, there's an archive. Complete instructions are in the info file (see
#1 above). The best way to see archived msgs is with a Web browser, and
the URL is

http://world.std.com/~lo/

Many of our messages are indexed in the Lycos and AltaVista catalogs of
the Web.

6) My Role as Host
----------
I review all msgs for relevance to the list and for tone consistent with
the learning organization principles we are trying to live.

I hope you're enjoying the learning-org list!
