The
METAB-L
History Page
(quick and dirty)
The Metab-L mailing list and the Metab-L community started in
August 1995. To me this seems a respectable enough period of
time, giving a pretense to celebrate our common successes
and build this rudimentary page with some links to "how it all
came to happen":
- As for (one of the
now-told versions of) the general story, have a look at the Wikipedia Entry on
Metab-L (and
have a go at editing, reworking and improving it, if you
like).
- Metab-L's (in)official birthday
is on August 16th, which is the date given on the invitation letter
sent out as a mass mailing to all metabolic specialists whose
postal addresses could be found in our address collections
("wilted and arcane") in summer 1995.
Here is the original
invitation text
and the "CMC
questionaire"
on previous use of "computer-mediated communication (CMC)"
included in the mailing. Do you remember them?
- And here is a link
to the original
Usenet-posting
to sci.med.telemedicine a few days later.
Please
mail
ideas and suggestions for improving this page to me
