I don't know if PEW people would be interested in discussing substanttive
and organizational problems of creation data archive of interregional
interactions. It seems that the recent budget uncertainties and shutdowns
within sponsoring foundations affect the funding of pioneering projects
and this rases the question about availabily of data. The establishment of
large national data archives as well as of local institutionally
affiliated ones might help. At least the one--DAII--which I (FEMALE)) has
initiated in mid. April 96 is devoted to this end
(see the initial ad on WSN/IPE nets of April 15). I was going to share the
information about the recent activities of DAII already for a while, and
the obsession about monolithic all-made discourse and the excitement about
women in the computer labs worked for me as a signal for a rabbit.
