Hi Chris, My point was actually to make the information public so that no only can we know what each other are doing it can also be a wider resource of new media practioners (in the fullest sense, including people in creative industries, researchers, curators, artists etc...). I have asked anyone who minds having their email address made public to contact me and I won't list it. Not sure about the data protection act but as has been discussed previously on the list the archive is already public. I'll double check this but I imagined that as I am asking list members to contact me if they don't want to be listed this should be fine.Bev Quoting Chris Hand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:Regarding spam-bots harvesting people's email addresses, surely the simplest way to prevent this is protect the relevant pages behind a member password. In fact, many members might prefer (or insist on) the details only being available to other members. For all I know it might even be a requirement of the data protection act. If you're still in the early stages of design you might want to look at one of the many freeware Content Management Systems out there (e.g. postNuke)... you probably want to keep this info in a database anyway so that it's easy to keep up to date.
