Posting a series of articles on same subject

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

I have a humble suggestion to make to those who post a series of articles on a

single subject. If this is uniformly followed, the task of collating the

articles into one compilation will be swift and sure.

 

i) The title under the heading "Subject" in the emails shd be identical; to

ensure this, the member may copy it from the first email and paste it in each

subsequent posting. This will help in using the Search facility effectively.

 

ii) The member-authors may open a file on their Hard Disks and record

concurrently the URLs under which the postings have been published by the Group.

This itself will serve the purpose of a compilation. When the Series of postings

conclude, the member may send this file as the last posting in the series.

 

iii) The Administrator of the Group may consider creating/maintaining a separate

subject-wise index Page containing the URLs of this last posting for each

subject.

 

iv) If this procedure is followed as a systems-concept, we will have a ready

library-index of articles on major subjects in respect of which individual

members have taken considerable effort to conduct research and post erudite

articles to the Group.

 

A member with technical knowledge of Systems design and Library Science can

build further on these sugestions and create a better model for future use.

 

Dasan,

Krishnaswamy M.K.

 

P.S.

Members may go to my web-site http://home.attbi.com/~ayyamkk/ where I have

recently posted a Frames Page containing a collection of 55 articles by Shriman

Oppiliappan Sathagopan on Sri Parasara Bhattar's Sri Guna Rathna Kosam, posted

in the Bhakti-List during the period October 2000 - May 2002. The site contains

also links to:

Mukundamala and Thiruppavy commentary by Shriman Sathagopan and the texts of the

Slokams of Narayaneeyam which were edited for accuracy by me and Shriman M.G.

Vasudevan.

Our Archives contain a treasure-house of information contributed by erudite

scholars. It will be a great Kaimkaryam (service) if younger members decide to

undertake the project of making and publishing compilations of articles which

have appeared as a series on individual subjects.
