Subject: Bioenergy Lists on the Web Bioenergy List Participants, Since we started the bioenergy lists we have been archiving list messages on the web so that they contribute to the pool of online bioenergy information. The web search engines periodically index the archives, so that as the use of WWW searching increases we get more 'hits.' Often people who access one of the list archive via the WWW post messages to the list. The list administrators receive 2-6 "non-member" messages per day. If they appear relevant list administrators will forward them to the list. That is where many of the recent "forwards" from me and others come from. As a matter of policy I have been subscribing these individuals to the lists before forwarding their messages, so that they will receive responses and contribute to the discussion. In many cases they stay with us and their contributions have been quite interesting. The most accessed list - bioenergy - gets more than 1000 public hits (requests or viewers) per day. The least - bioconversion - gets about 50. Total requests for the last month are: Bioenergy - 34,000 requests Stoves - 14,600 Gasification - 6,500 Digestion - 3,800 Bioconversion - 1,500 BIOENERGY EMAIL LISTS o Bioenergy (bioenergy@crest.org) Moderator: Tom Miles (tmiles@teleport.com) (Other Volunteers are Welcome!)
