Re: paleo titles & abstracts



Given that there are probably a few thousand palaeo articles published per
year (not to mention  Newsletter items) putting abstracts over the paleonet
mailing -list would probably be a bit of an overload. So maybe the ideal
should be for

Contents list to go out on the mailing list

+ deposition of ASCII abstracts at the NHM gopher site &/or reference to
another site where the abstracts can be downloaded from (or simple
admission that abstracts are unavailable).

Further points

1. If we started to get overwhelmed with contents lists then maybe a new
list could be set up for them, so as to let them be optional, but start off
on regular palaeonet.

2.  I would sooner see contents lists when the journal is actually out -
rather than when it goes to the printer.
