*DIDASKALIA: ANCIENT THEATER TODAY*
Sallie Goetsch (Founding Editor)
Oliver Taplin (Consultant)
Ian Worthington (Publisher and Contributing Editor)
Peter Toohey (Publisher and Contributing Editor)
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS AND SUBSCRIBERS
More and more classicists are getting involved with Greek and
Roman plays as performance texts; theater practitioners have
always been so. Dialogue between the two groups of specialists,
and among individual artists and scholars, is essential. During the
course of the conference on Sophocles' *Electra* at Northwestern
University in May 1993 (reviewed in *BMCR* 4), Oliver Taplin
addressed the need for an electronic newsletter devoted to
publicizing modern productions of ancient theater.
*Didaskalia* has as its aim the timely dissemination of news
relevant to those who work on ancient theater and its modern
incarnations.
The main feature of *Didaskalia* will be advance listings of
upcoming productions and other drama-oriented events. We will
also publish short previews and reviews of books and productions
and lists of forthcoming publications pertaining to ancient theater.
Each issue will contain updates on the dramatic doings of our
subscribers and contributors, and provide a forum for the airing of
complaints and the exchange of opinions. Suggestions for other
features are welcome. Those interested in becoming regular
regional correspondents should contact the editors.
*Didaskalia* will appear monthly beginning in March 1994. It
will be distributed from the University of Tasmania, Australia,
under the direction of Ian Worthington, and may be accessed via
ftp or gopher in the same way as *Electronic Antiquity*.
Distribution will be exclusively electronic, except possibly for the
Listings section. Listings should include, at minimum, title,
venue, opening date and length of run, director, translator if there
is one, address, phone, fax, and e-mail of a contact person, and a
short description of the approach to the play.
Submissions and inquiries may be sent electronically to:

To: harnad@princeton.edu (Stevan Harnad)
I've just read your engrossing interchange with Quinn. I don't
recognize the list to which you distributed it, and so I don't know if that
readership expects continuing commentary. If you think it appropriate,
pass the following comments on to that group (of course with
any intercalations you like), or bank it to go out with others
you have received. Fred B.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frank Quinn and Stevan Harnad are engaged in a dialogue about the nexus
among peer review, reliability of the mathematical research literature,
and electronic publication. As a working statistician and applied
geometer in an offbeat speciality (biological shape), I would like to
add to their exchange by explaining the stance of another community of
participants having a hybrid point of view.
1. "The mathematical literature."
Quinn notes that mathematics is unusual among the disciplines in the
reliability of its primary literature. It is also most unusual in the
elegant variations of its secondary literature. For a century or more
there has been a tradition of true diversity and ingenious beauty in
the arguments of advanced textbooks and monographs that are NOT primary
announcements but distillations or syntheses. (Perhaps this tradition
is strongest in geometry, the field I mainly apply.) Each of the "big
books" I keep on my shelf explains its subject (differential geometry,
tensors, kinematics, space) differently. And all are worth having: the
simplification of a proof, the exegesis accessible to the smart
high-school student, the demonstration of the convertibility between
notations, the formulary so popular earlier in this century---all are
worth preserving. Likewise in mathematical physics: the published
lectures of Feynman, Schrodinger, Fermi are at least as lasting as
their original technical papers.
It follows that any discussion about preserving the "reader-oriented"
essence of the literature must distinguish among kinds of readers as
carefully as among kinds of papers. The lifetime of the monographs I
just referred to is far longer than the life of the primary papers on
which they are based. For instance, several houses (Chelsea, Dover,
etc.) thrive by keeping nineteenth-century monographs in print. This
would not make sense had these works been superseded by newer texts or
journals.
2. Novelty and authority.
I am the guru of a small (200-address) morphometrics bulletin board.
My main function there is to supply authoritative answers to a broad range
of practical or theoretical questions: a sort of Agony Column of the
shape business. I can save a researcher anywhere in the world several
days of library ransacking, and sometimes several months of parallel
developments, by pointing out where in the earlier literature
a particular perplexity has been clarified, a particular formalism
crafted. (Other bulletin boards in quantitative biology also spend
considerable bandwidth on such postings.) Whenever possible, my citations
directly set out formulas rather than referring to them in any
remote form. When direct reproduction is not possible, it is better to
refer the researcher to older books, likelier to be in scattered
libraries, rather than to the primary journals, which are typically
much harder to retrieve (especially away from the major American
research universities).
The format of these pointers is, by now, somewhat stereotyped: "You
want to use the estimate of the Uniform Factor, Sigma y-bar
(dx,dy)/Sigma y-bar squared." If a printed text must be cited, the
older the better: "See Hilbert and Cohn-Vossen, page 203." If the
citation is to a new book, let it at least be one I know intimately:
"See the Orange Book" (my 1991 textbook) "where Figure 5.3.1 draws the
formula on page 159." Of course the advice can be customized, also:
"Set up your analysis the way Reyment did in Section 4.3 of the 1991
book, except that your variables should omit the deficient
coordinates."
In this global conversation, questions often arise for which, in my
experience, no answer can be unearthed. When I can, I construct a new
answer, in a closely reasoned technical argument of a few dozen lines
that is, I suppose, a novel form of primary mathematical publishing,
perhaps the very one Quinn is worried about. But, as Harnad notes in
his commentary, it surely can share one crucial characteristic with
other forms of primary applied mathematics: I make sure that the new
formulas in these "announcements" are peer-reviewed by three colleagues
who go over every single manipulation, check my computer codes, etc.
What is lacking is instead one other common feature. The "articles"
have no bibliographies-- if citations could have been supplied, it
would not have been necessary to write in the first place. These
articles are "published" over my own signature--on my own recognizance,
as it were--and those who need to know the trick henceforth retrieve
them from the e-mail archive. The more "traditional" forms of
publication of the same material--usually chapters in obscure
Proceedings volumes--are necessary for the health of the curriculum
vitae, but are of no use in getting the message out to my audience.
Instead, the better archives are publicly distributed software
(canonical implementations) and the occasional review article or
textbook chapter.
In this system the issue that most concerns Quinn, the issue of quality
(peer review), is not problematic. But novelty now plays a somewhat
anomalous role: it is a characteristic to be avoided, since the most
novel techniques have the fewest exemplars. This degree of conservatism
is quite out of keeping with the structure of prestige of most
scientific communities, but it suits the morphometric synthesis just
fine: to build a field that bridges several extant special variants,
invent only when you absolutely must; otherwise, borrow. Nevertheless,
Harnad's principal forecast is already in evidence at every turn--the
network is as far from flat as I can make it, by personal prestige, by
rhetoric, and by perseverance of pedagogy.
3. Proofs and facts.
While I'm in agreement with Quinn about the unusual social-cognitive
structure of the world of mathematics, a topic that has fascinated a
lot of philosophers of science as well, I see much more possibility for
a synthesis of his position with Harnad's than was presented in the
original posting. The potential of e-mail to enhance the freedom of
scholarly exchanges, one of Harnad's favorite homiletics, corresponds
to features of the existing system of publishing mathematics to which
Quinn chose not to draw attention: the perseveration of classic
monographs, the aesthetics of simplification and elegant variation of
pedagogy, the quotidian mathematical task of "looking up the formula."
As unusual as the purity of the primary literature of mathematics,
then, is the durability of the secondary.
While the retrieved formulae, conversions of notation, etc., are
perhaps "less pure" mathematics than what Quinn had in mind,
mathematics they are nevertheless. Quinn has (inadvertently?)
restricted the literature "of mathematics" to the production of novel
theorems. But that is not all that mathematicians do, even
peer-reviewed mathematicians; and in any case other communities need to
refer to other parts of that literature. If my play along Internet is
at all effective, the promise of electronic publication to ease our
very real retrieval problems for the "facts" of the matter--notation,
decompositions, identities--is more important than access of equal
immediacy to the axioms and proofs that concern the mathematicians
creating these works for the first time. That is not the only moment of
creation that matters.

I would suggest writing a release announcing the journal that specifically
mentions distribution to libraries, but also terms for other subscribers
(if they are different). The announcement should be sent to lists
related to the topic of the journal (Teaching English as a Second
Langauge). If there is a searchable archive, that information should be
included in the release, and the release could also be sent to the
Library Gopher list (G04LIB-L@UCSBVM).
You could also announce the journal to PACS-L@UHUPVM1, the largest library
lis, with over 6,0000 (or is it 8,000?) readers. This list is called the
Public-Access Computer Systems forum, and is devoted to library issues
relating to computers.
Hope this helps,
David

Subject: News from the IPPE
===========================================================
News from the International Philosophical Preprint Exchange
=========================================================== 30 Nov 93
------------------------
Usership and submissions
------------------------ In recent weeks, usage of the IPPE has remained
steady at about 4500 accesses per month. However, probably due to the
approaching end of the semester in many parts of the world, the rate of
new submissions has temporarily dipped. Approximately 20 new papers are
at some stage or other of the submission process, and we hope to be able
to announce several batches of newly available papers within the next
few weeks.
--------------------------------
Books, journals, and conferences
-------------------------------- Other new developments are also in the
works. We shall soon be opening a new directory (and Gopher menu) for
journals, book series, and conferences, within which we will be making
available abstracts, tables of contents, and in some cases introductory
essays of forthcoming issues of journals, forthcoming volumes in book
series, and papers to be presented at conferences. Thus far, we have
firm arrangements with two journals and with one book series. We would
be glad to hear from others who might be interested in a similar
arrangement.
--------------------------
North American mirror site
-------------------------- Courtesy of Professor Michael Hart of Project
Gutenberg, a mirror image of the IPPE archive will shortly be available
for ftp users at a North American mirror site, mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu (the
main site in Japan, Phil-Preprints.L.Chiba-U.ac.jp, will of course also
remain available to users worldwide). North American users, as well as
certain others, may prefer to ftp to the North American site. On
mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu, the IPPE archive can be found in the directory
etext/ippe.
Please note that mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu cannot accept IPPE submissions;
for submission information, see below.
------------------
Other mirror sites
------------------ Other sites interested in keeping an automated mirror
image of the IPPE archive are desired, especially in parts of the world
which do not yet have a nearby IPPE mirror. We would especially like to
have additional mirror sites in Europe and Australasia. To mirror the
IPPE, you need to be able to commit a considerable amount of disk space
(no less than 100 MB, although only half that will be needed
immediately), to be willing to install and run the Washington University
ftp server (wuftpd), and to be willing to transmit the relevant potions
of the ftp server's log files to the Chiba site periodically (we have
automated software that will accomplish this). All interested parties
are invited to contact us at the address
<phil-preprints-admin@phil-preprints.l.chiba-u.ac.jp> to discuss matters.
-------------------------------------------
Placing your own working papers on the IPPE
------------------------------------------- The IPPE welcomes working
papers in all areas of philosophy. Authors who place their papers on
the IPPE benefit from the comments and criticisms of philosophers
worldwide: on average, a paper placed on the IPPE is read twice a day,
in the first month alone. Authors retain copyright, and papers remain
fully publishable. If you wish to place a paper on the IPPE, please
contact Carolyn Burke (cburke@nexus.yorku.ca), who will be pleased to
guide you throught the processs of submitting your paper by email, ona
diskette, or by ftp. (Expert ftp users may wish to simply connect to
Phil-Preprints.L.Chiba-U.ac.jp, read the file pub/submissions/README,
and upload their papers using the procedure described therein.)

Subject: JAIR
I'd like to let this group know about a new e-journal which is pursing
an interesting strategy. The Journal of Artificial Intelligence
Research (JAIR) started accepting submissions in June of this year.
From an e-publishing point of views, it's notable because:
-- it's published both electronically and by a traditional publisher.
(Note: the publisher will be publishing each complete volume,
not individual issues.)
- the electronic version is free over the internet. (Articles are
published in PostScript.)
Although we have only been publishing for a few months, it looks as if
the electronic version of the journal will be successful, judging from
the number (and quality) of the submissions we have been receiving. In
addition to the two points above, JAIR's success in attracting good
submissions has been aided by having a prestigious international
editorial board, and by making sure our turnaround time (reviewing,
etc) is much faster than any other journal in the field. The
electronic form of JAIR also presents some added value over
traditional journals, for instance, we allow source code, experimental
data, and demos to be electronically "published" in on-line appendices
to articles.
Basically, this journal can be distributed for free because almost
everything is done by volunteers (the editorial staff), as part of
their normal jobs as academics and researchers. The journal itself is
run by a non-profit corporation, which has granted the publisher
rights to publish the hardcopy volume. We been greatly aided by
several universities and research labs that have allowed us to use
their facilities as electronic archive sites. The publisher has also
been very helpful. Presumably, the publisher's revenue will come
primarily from sales to libraries and individuals who don't want to
rely completely on an electronic archive. Since we will basically give
them a finished product to publish, they have very little in the way
of costs. (We are not sure what the role of the publisher will be in 5
years, but we will be happy to work with them to see what added value
they can provide.)
Also critical to the success we have had (so far), is that our
readership consists of computer scientists. They generally have easy
access to the internet and are used to passing around PostScript
articles over the net. I suspect that in the future, as the net
expands, and e-publishing tools improve, that journals like JAIR will
be possible in many communities besides computer scientists.
JAIR is available over the internet via gopher, a USENET newsgroup,
ftp, automated email, etc. For more information about the journal,
send electronic mail to jair@cs.cmu.edu with the subject
``autorespond'' and the message body ``help'', or contact
jair-ed@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov. Below is an announcement that went out
over the net earlier this year which explains the basics. (I've edited
it a bit to make it shorter.)

ANNOUNCEMENT
The AI Access Foundation is pleased to announce that the Journal of
Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR) is now available over the
internet.
JAIR is a refereed publication, covering all areas of AI. In addition
to being published electronically, each complete volume of JAIR will
be published by Morgan Kaufmann. JAIR offers AI researchers
several advantages over existing journals:
-- To promote rapid publication of research results, articles sent to
JAIR will be reviewed and returned to the authors in approximately
6 weeks. Electronic publication will occur immediately after the
editor receives the final version of an accepted article.
-- Articles will be distributed free of charge over the internet via ftp,
automated email, and a newsgroup. Articles will be available
in postscript.
-- Subscribers will be able to take full advantage of the electronic medium.
JAIR will support a variety of electronic services, such as
online appendices containing data/code.
JAIR will only publish articles of the highest quality. Submissions
will be evaluated on their originality and significance. All claims
should be clearly articulated and justified either empirically or
theoretically. Papers should describe work that has both practical
and theoretical significance.
We encourage authors to be concise. Short, high-quality articles will
be welcomed, in addition to the longer articles that traditionally
appear in AI journals. JAIR will also publish technical notes -- very
brief papers that extend or evaluate previous work. We invite
submissions in all areas of AI, including automated reasoning,
cognitive modeling, knowledge representation, learning, natural
language, perception, and robotics.

Advertising on the Internet
Advertising on the Internet is a new regular column by
Michael Strangelove, publisher of The Internet Business
Journal, and author of the new book, "How to Advertise
on the Internet: An Introduction to Internet-
Facilitated Marketing." Advertising on the Internet
will examine cultural issues for Internet advertisers;
explain tools, tips, and trends in Internet-facilitated
marketing; and review the variety of advertising that
appears on the Internet, both good and bad. The focus
will be on informing the business community of the
responsible and effective use of the Internet as a
marketing and communication tool -- for what is good
advertising if not good communication?
Advertising on the Internet is not a new phenomenon --
it has been going on for a long time in a variety of
fashions: passive, active, unsolicited, direct mailing,
subtle hints, bold statements, and free samples. Yet
most advertisers will fail in their initial attempt at
Internet-facilitated advertising. This is not at all
surprising given that most advertising in any medium is
woefully ineffective, mind-bogglingly boring, and
uncreative at best -- deceptive and annoying at worst.
Why will most advertisers fail when they succumb to the
seduction of the virgin fields of the Internet?
Traditional advertising will fail to achieve results on
the Internet because this virtual community is oriented
towards content. In contrast, advertisers usually sell
through promoting image and style -- broad archetypes
delivered to mass audiences. But the language of the
Internet, for the majority of its population, and for
some time to come, is low ASCII (Aa-Zz, 1-9 text plus a
few miscellaneous characters). More than being a mainly
text-based environment, the Internet is first and
foremost an oral culture, where the keyboard mediates
the spoken word to a complex matrix of subcultures.
Sensitivity to Internet culture will define success for
any business entering into this global matrix.
The business world is going to have to learn a new
language when it communicates to the Internet community
-- the language of content-based, interactive,
community-orientated dialogue. Unidirectional
pontification coming from the lofty heights of
corporate sales and marketing offices will only
alienate the typical Internet user. To be accepted by
the majority of Internet users, a business will need to
participate in the virtual communities they wish to
reach. This means that business must be willing and
prepared to enter into dialogue in an appropriate
manner on the appropriate forums. Unlike any other
medium familiar to advertisers, the Internet is fully
bi-directional. Businesses must be prepared to answer
for their products or services if they are less than
100% satisfactory. The Internet user will not hesitate
to make their complaints known to both the offending
business and to the rest of the Internet community!
For the immediate future, the costs of Internet-
facilitated advertising will not be associated with
expensive visual productions, but with the labour
required to dialogue with the desired market areas
found within over five thousand discussion forums. This
labour factor will become a critical consideration for
truly responsible, responsive, and effective Internet
advertising as the staggering Internet growth rate
pushes these numbers to tens of thousands of forums and
hundreds of millions of users over the next decade.
For quite some time to come, the Internet will not
represent a mass market such as TV where content is
controlled and packaged to a limited number of
predefined and demographically homogenous audiences
consisting of millions of viewers. There are no mass
markets on the Internet -- only micro communities with
distinct histories, rules, and concerns. The challenge
for the Internet-facilitated business is to find a way
to reach these communities on their terms, respecting
their local customs.
Watch this column for specific techniques on using the
Internet to engage in that unique form of business
communication called advertising.

PRESS NOTICE: For Immediate Release
DPA ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF THE SECOND ANNUAL "DIGITAL QUILL" AWARDS
Birmingham, Alabama - December 6, 1993: The Digital Publishing
Association, the first and only trade organization for the
electronic publishing industry, today announced the winners of
the Second Annual "Digital Quill" Awards for Excellence in
Electronic Publishing.
The Quill Award competition, originating in 1992, was open to
all authors and publishers, regardless of DPA membership status.
The only requirement was that the materials submitted for
judging must have been previously published in electronic
format. Submitted materials must have either been uploaded to an
online system or distributed on disk for reading by computer as
digital materials.
In making the announcement, Ron Albright, President of the DPA,
said "This volume and quantity of this year's entries clearly
show that digital publishing is 'alive and well' at the
grassroots level. While the industry press shows that the "big
players" are just sticking their toes in the electronic
publishing waters, the grassroots authors and publishers are
already swimming about in the waters. This year's Quill entries
were an amazing array of quality works that are pushing
'paperless publishing' to the limit of their imagination and
skills. It is clear to the DPA that 1993 was a 'breakthrough'
year for digital publishing and that the industry is poised to
take off in the next 12 months." The Quill Awards are awarded
during the DPA's annual November "Digital Publishing Month"
activities. Additional acitivites are planned during the month
to publicize the electronic publishing industry to both the
computer and literary consumer.

Subject: News from the IPPE
===========================================================
News from the International Philosophical Preprint Exchange
=========================================================== 12 Dec 93
--------------------------------------------------
Contents and summaries of _Poznan Studies_ volumes
-------------------------------------------------- The IPPE is pleased to
announce the first fruits of the invitation we issued last fall to
editors of journals and book series, and to organizers of conferences,
to make materials available through the IPPE.
The tables of contents and guest-editors' introductory essays of volumes
in the _Poznan Studies in the Philosophy of the Sciences and the
Humanities_ are now being made available on the IPPE, starting with the
current volume (_Social System, Rationality and Revolution_. Leszek
Nowak and Marcin Paprzycki, eds. _Poznan Studies in the Philosophy of
the Sciences and the Humanities_, vol. 33). Tables of contents and
editor's summaries of future volumes of the _Poznan Studies_ will be
available on the IPPE several months in advance of publication. In
addition, information on all the back volumes will be added over the
next several months.
The Poznan Studies data can be found in a new directory/gopher menu on
the IPPE, named Journals_Books_and_Conferences.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Contents and abstracts from _Philosophy of the Social Sciences_
--------------------------------------------------------------- Starting
in January, the Journals_Books_and_Conferences directory/gopher menu
will also contain tables of contents and abstracts from forthcoming
issues of the journal _Philosophy of the Social Sciences_. Details will
be announced shortly.
------------------------------------------------------------
Other journals to be available soon; invitation remains open
------------------------------------------------------------ We hope to
be able to announce the finalization of several more cooperative
ventures with journals and major conferences in the coming months, and
our invitation to editors and organizers remains open. Since we
consider the IPPE to be a medium for the distribution of philosophical
texts, rather than advertising, we look most favourably on proposals to
make significant portions of books, journals, or conference proceedings
(chapters, whole papers, introductions, or at least abstracts, rather
than just publication information or bare tables of contents) available
on the IPPE. Please contact us at
phil-preprints-admin@phil-preprints.L.chiba-u.ac.jp for more information.
----------------------------------------------------------
Submission queue lengthens, but more submissions solicited
---------------------------------------------------------- Due to
end-of-semester slowdowns, over a dozen papers are delayed at various
stages of the submission process. As always, however, we encourage more
submissions. If you have a working paper you would like to make
available on the IPPE, please contact Carolyn Burke
(cburke@nexus.yorku.ca), who will be happy to guide you through the
submission process. We hope to have several batches of papers available
in the next few weeks, and to eliminate the queue early in the new year.
----------
Questions?
---------- If you have any questions about the IPPE, you may find them
answered in our "Frequently asked questions (with answers)" document,
which is available on the system. Please feel free also to write to the
