Re: [Digital BW] The Photo Binbook - a new resource about Photography

2002-05-15 by Truman Prevatt

Are the archives that are used by Photo Binbook open to the public? If 
so what is this but a database of references organized on various topics 
that interfaces to the archives and pulls the messages? Would it be 
different if a URL was supplied and a party was sent directly to the 
archive to see the article instead of pulling the post up directly in 
the Binbook web site?

Seems to be the value added is the cross reference to the original post 
in a public archive. What is the difference between this and the common 
practice of someone being paid to perform a literature search of open 
source literature (books, journals and the web) on a specific subject?

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
