PLEASE NOTE:
This Bionet discussion service will be turned of in April, next month,
due to new Indiana University policy to remove scientist-run services
such as this one. This discussion network seeks a new supporting
organization for http://www.bio.net/
Discussion of Bionet's future can proceed on the list Bionet.general,
email: bioforum from net.bio.net, or see this Google Groups copy,
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bionet.general
which should survive the IU shutdown.
Suggestions and comments may also be emailed to me at
gilbert.bionet from gmail.com, please request anonymity if desired.

A host organization that will maintain or expand this unique resource
is sought. Suggestions include (1) an established biology-oriented
center that already maintains public E-mail lists with the popular
GNU-Mailman system used by Biosci; (2) open-access science
communication credentials; (3) possible re-location to an Old World
home, in Europe or Asia-Pacific, as Bionet receives continuing high
use from these areas. The alternative of a new institutional home for
Bionet will be up to group members, with options of commercial
offerings like Google Groups, Twitter, FaceBook, and others.
