Okay, I got a response from someone, so I'm at least managing to 
successfully post to the list.

But, it might be useful to give some guidance, so I don't scare people 
away.


     Length:
 	Submissions can be of any length, even if it's just a sentance or
 	two about something that's of interest.  The last three
 	newsletters were a single page, but if you have something
 	relevant, I'll be glad to make it longer.

     Format:
 	If you can generate it, I can probably read it, or find a way to
 	read it.  ASCII, TEX, MS Word, PS, RTF, PDF, ODF, are all fine.

     Content:
 	Just about anything -- provided it's at least peripherially
 	related to information science & technology related to science &
 	technical information:

 	* Published anything you want people to read?
 	* Read anything you think others should read, too?
 	* Know of any upcoming meetings / events?
 	* Know of any interesting studies / research that might not yet
 	  be published but could be worth following?
 	* Any new software / technology that might be of interest?

 	If there's something going on in one of the other ASIS&T SIGs, or
 	some other group that's still might be of interest to this group,
 	send that along, too.  I'm not very discriminating, so long as
 	it's at least somewhat on topic.

     Deadlines:
 	If you have something, and it's past August 20th, just send it
 	anyway.  I'll put it in the next newsletter, provided it's not a
 	time-sensitive item.  (and if it's August 21st, odds are I haven't
 	finished the newsletter, anyway, so can still add in stuff, but
 	I'm hoping everyone doesn't wait 'till a day or two past August
 	20th to give me stuff)
