I followed the instructions on formatting my post as plain text; is this OK? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------- "Acid-Free Bits: Recommendations for Long-Lasting Electronic Literature" by Nick Montfort and Noah Wardrip-Fruin v. 1.0 June 14, 2004 ELO's Preservation, Archiving and Dissemination Committee (PAD) has just published an important set of guidelines for creating enduring eliterature and digital media works. "Acid-Free Bits" is now available at the ELO's website, http://www.eliterature.org . We hope that artists, writers, instructors, scholars, and librarians will find "Acid-Free Bits" both useful and provocative for writing, art-making, teaching, and debate about the nature and future of born-digital writing. We look forward to hearing your thoughts about "Acid-Free Bits." Please feel free to contact the authors with your feedback: Nick Montfort: nickm [at] nickm [dot] com ; web: http://nickm.com Noah Wardrip-Fruin: nwf [at] brown [dot] edu Please also feel free to post comments on the PAD discussion forum. You will find a link to this forum on the "Acid-Free Bits" web page.
