WILSON) This is to inform you about the proposed Internet Encyclopedia, or Interpedia and the mailing-list for discussion of it. The original idea, due to Rick Gates, was for volunteers to cooperatively write a new encyclopedia, put it in the public domain, and make it available on the Internet. Participants on the mailing-list have expanded the concept by noting that the bibliography entries and references provided with Interpedia articles could include hypertext links to other resources available on the Internet. Unlike any printed encyclopedia, the Interpedia could be kept completely up-to-date. Indeed, it could include hypertext links to ongoing discussions, and perhaps evolve into a general interface to all resources and activities on the Internet. If you find these ideas interesting, please join the Interpedia mailing-list by sending a message to interpedia-request () telerama lm com with the body of the message containing the word 'subscribe' and your e-mail address, as follows: subscribe your_username () your host.domain
