   Prof Ric Crabbe to All   
   new FAQ maintainer?

   Greetings,   
      
   I am the maintainer of the comp.ai FAQ.  As you may have noticed, the   
   FAQ posting frequency is not what is once was.  At this stage, I don't   
   have time to read comp.ai, much less maintain the FAQ, and I know that   
   Amit is similarly busy.  We've been doing this 5 years, and its time   
   to pass it on.  So, I'm looking for a volunteer to take over   
   maintainance and posting.  The job can be fun, and I learned a lot   
   from it.   
      
   I do have a few things I'm looking for:   
      
   - Someone who will be willing to give the document a thorough going   
   over.  Some parts have gotten out of date again.   
   - Someone who will post monthly again.   
   - Someone in academia or a mainstream research lab.  AI has a tendency   
   to attract, well, wackos, and posting from a sober site will lend it   
   credibility.   
   - I'd like that my, Amit's, and Mark's name remain with the document.   
   We (especially Mark) put in a lot of time in writing it.   
   - I'd like that the FAQ continue to crosspost to news.answers and   
   comp.answers, and that the new maintainer agree to do the paperwork for   
   the switch.   
   That's it.  If you're interested, please drop me a line.   
      
   cheers,   
   Ric
