Re: New home for list needed.

[Greg Schmitz <gws1@columbia.edu>]

Malin, sorry.  But I really, really think that alt-photo-process should 
be hosted in an institutional setting that is impartial, but with a 
significant and diverse (not just photography or the arts) constituency 
as the underpinning.  Gord managed to host this list for many years via 
the larges of an institution  of  "higher  learning."  Prior to that it 
was hosted by  a University in Australia and administered by a grad 
student, Steve Avery (also, I believe the founder).  A small non-profit, 
no matter how altruistic, does not have staying power or the expertice 
of a larger more well established institution.
