Subject: Administrivia -changed
To: dssslist@mulberrytech.com

Reordered DSSSList-Digest section, added DSSSL Documentation Project
section

--------------------
This information is posted to the DSSSList (and the DSSSList-Digest)
under the subject line "Administrivia" at regular intervals.  If the
details change between postings, the subject line is "Administrivia
-changed", otherwise the posting will be the same as the previous
posting.


POSTING
=======

Only subscribers can post to DSSSList, and only from the address they
used when they subscribed.

There is no restriction on what may be posted provided it is related
to DSSSL or XSL.

Do not begin your subject line with "help" or "subscribe" since the
list software will bounce the message because it looks like is an
administrative request.

Both subscribers to DSSSList@mulberrytech.com and subscribers to
DSSSList-Digest@mulberrytech.com should post their messages to
DSSSList@mulberrytech.com, and the messages will be received by both
subscribers to the list and subscribers to the digest.

Do not start a new thread by replying to an unrelated message and just
changing the subject line since the header of your message will
contain references to the previous message and your new message will
appear in the archive as one of the replies to the original message.
It is better to start a new message for a new thread.


REPLYING TO POSTS
=================

The reply address of DSSSList messages (and of digests) is
dssslist@mulberrytech.com so replies go to the list by default.  If
you want to reply to just the author of a post, you should change the
"To:" field in your reply.


CROSS-POSTING
=============

Cross-posting to the DSSSList and to another list is often
counter-productive unless everybody who replies to the thread is on
both lists.  Cross-posts from non-subscribers continueing the thread
will bounce, and DSSSList subscribers who are not also on the other
list will only see half of the thread, as will those on the other list
who are not also on the DSSSList.


DAILY DIGEST
============

Daily digests -- copies of a whole days DSSSList messages (or a 40,000
character chunk, whichever comes first) sent as one email message --
are available.  Not only is it one mail message containing all of that
day's DSSSList messages, it averages half the bytes of the individual
messages since it doesn't include the overhead of the mail headers
from each message.  To unsubscribe from the list and subscribe to the
digest, send mail to majordomo@mulberrytech.com with the following two
lines as the body of your message:

unsubscribe dssslist
subscribe dssslist-digest


UNSUBSCRIBING FROM DSSSLIST
===========================

To unsubscribe from the list, send mail to majordomo@mulberrytech.com
with "unsubscribe dssslist" as the body of your message.


UNSUBSCRIBING FROM THE DIGEST
=============================

To unsubscribe from the digest, send mail to majordomo@mulberrytech.com
with "unsubscribe dssslist-digest" as the body of your message.


ARCHIVE
=======

DSSSList messages are archived at
http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist/archive.


ARCHIVE SEARCH
==============

A search facility for the DSSSList archive is available at
http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist/search.html.


"XS: " AND "DD: " IN SUBJECT LINES
==================================

Subject lines beginning with "XS: " in the archive are posts related
to the discussion of xml-style.  xml-style was a precursor to the
current XSL proposal of the XML effort.

Subject lines beginning with "DD: " are posts related to the DSSSL
documentation project.  See http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dsssldoc.


DSSSL DOCUMENTATION PROJECT
===========================

The DSSSL documentation project is a collaborative effort by DSSSL
users to write and disseminate documentation on all aspects of DSSSL
for the purposes of:

 - introducing DSSSL to new users
 - education for both new and experienced users
 - assistance for people using DSSSL

The project draws on the combined experience of present users of
DSSSL, principally those subscribed to the DSSSList mailing list
(which also hosts the discussion between project participants).  You
are free to use the material produced by the documentation project,
and you are encouraged to contribute.

See http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dsssldoc.


FURTHER INFORMATION ON DSSSL
============================

Two excellent sources of information about DSSSL are the DSSSL section
of the SGML/XML Web Page at http://www.sil.org/sgml/related.html#dsssl 
and James Clark's DSSSL page at http://www.jclark.com/dsssl.
