Last night I pulled the first 3 issues of JOLA (yeah, I go back
that far)
from my shelf and took a look. Back in the late '60s, JOLA was
reproducing
images of Hollerith cards, tractor-feed print dumps, flowcharts, and
formulae to illustrate some pretty detailed articles about really
tech-y
stuff pertaining to the mainframe environment in libraries.
Compared to
today's ITAL, the early JOLA was deeper into the guts of library code
development.
You are proposing to go back to that? I say, Yes!
Me too.
I am looking for code snippets, hacks, Javascript widgets & gadgets,
etc. I believe the inclusion of these sorts of things will set this
journal off from the others. Think of writing code as a sort of
poetry, and this journal is a poetry journal. ;-)
