Subers FOS Blog

[Klaus Graf <graf _at__ uni-koblenz.de>]

Peter Subers Free Online Scholarship (FOS) Newsletter ist einigen hier
wohlbekannt. Durch das Ende seiner Freistellung ist Suber gezwungen,
sein Engagement zu reduzieren. Den Newsletter soll teilweise ein Weblog
ersetzen:

"The blog will differ from the Newsletter in several ways.  It will
publish 
many voices, not just mine, which is a plus.  It will reside on the web 
rather than arrive in your email box (although you can sign up for email 
notification of updates).  Its entries will be short, emphasizing news
and 
containing less interpretation and analysis than the Newsletter.  For
these 
reasons, it won't replace the Newsletter.  And of course, the Newsletter 
will still exist.

[...]

Blogs are wonderful structures adapting to many serious purposes.  While 
I'm turning to the blog from necessity, I believe it has the potential
to 
be more useful than the Newsletter at least in its coverage of the
news."
