[spectre] YASMIN Network - Mediterranean Rim

[zeljko blace]

Hm... as a native Mediterreanian (born 10m above see level) I would like 
to join, but I am slightly afraid of mailinglists that need...
"ISOC (Internet Society), The Rockefeller Foundation, Leonardo/OLATS, 
The University of Athens, Artnodes- UOC Barcelona and all the 
coordinators from the "YASMIN Group". It is co-sponsored by the DigiArts 
Programme of UNESCO"
...to RUN.

Especially since non-mediterreanian language is default (so no effort in 
transtaltion is made but frontpages). It used to be possible to do this 
kind of things with server that has mailman installed and 3-4 
enthusiastic individuals. I guess this is the way academia is catching 
up with methods of cultural activist without giving up on "supporters"?

Anyway - live and prosper at least as long as your funds last.
