I got the message above describing how Code4Lib has been added to a thing called Gmane. Apparently Gmane is a mailing archiver and usenet news feeder. I have no secrets, and I don't really mind this sort of thing happening to our list, but what do y'all think? Should I do nothing, or should I try to remove Code4Lib from their archive? -- Eric Lease Morgan University Libraries of Notre Dame (574) 631-8604
