hi all, concerning the discussion why papers of the maastricht- conference are not freely available online, i just want to make some statements: first, i am not a member (because its too expensive, for a student); second, i dont think its a technical problem - of course it costs some time, but creating pdf-documents and putting them online ist not very difficult - it should be the same like it is currently done but without signing-in. third i guess the whole problem is an academic one: instead of working together, some are *sitting* on their work and results. but that leads nobody nowhere. ok, i am just an european student without real experience in the academic field, i can only guess how hard it is to get funds, etc. but that`s what the debate looks like to me. i hope nobody feels personally attacked. greetings, -- Philipp Budka email: ph.budka@philbu.net tel.: +43(01) 95 28 244 tel. mobil.: +43(0)6991 95 28 244 Rustengasse 5/10 1150 Wien, Austria +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
