Whomever, I am here every day, mostly lurk, but do respond occasionally when I think I must. I am willing to post some .pars. I have beaucoup stuff and would like to share, but a response would be nice if I were to do so. I have posted some .pars and I think there was three, maybe four, replys.....all gratifying..... but for a list of three hundred plus members that's about 1%. I don't know who's responsible for taking care of the list, but I would like to post a .par and have members rate it with one(1) being lowest, and ten(10) being highest. Must I get permission from someone somewhere to do this? Can I attach thumbnails to the .par? Size would be about 120x90. Do I just jump in and start, or what? I also have .map files which are original....I have compiled them from zip....and I am willing to post them also, or send to anyone who's interested, and asks. I might, occasionally, comment with a posting but only to the extent of the artistic content. Don't know nothing 'bout no log ladders, buds, valleys or parts of z over c. Do know about color, shade, form, symmetry, and the relationship of each to each other. So, what do I do to initiate this? If the boss is reading this let me know. If there is no boss, a response from the list members about this showing interest, would be enough to start. I would like to do this, very much. Time is not a problem anymore as I have retired a second time and now have all day to myself. Responses? David M Fisher sunfish@intercom.net

Just post your pars and people will respond if they choose to. I'd prefer if you could put rendered images up on a web site somewhere - I don't have to render a par. Maybe you could do a fractal gallery and put images, pars and map files there? I'm not sure, but does the list strip attachments? -- David gnome@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community
If you do, post them in clearly labeled messages and only in groups two two or three. Also They can get messed up by e-mail transfer sometimes so you may have repost a few. I'f you post them in zip files (as attachements) they might come out better, also you can post more of them at once that way. Anyway post them is the general response. The list could use a little new blood. If has a few dedicated posters (Louise Dreams, Carin, Jim Muth) but that pretty much it. New blood is always good. ----- Original Message ----- From: David M Fisher To: Fractint and General Fractals Discussion Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2006 8:23 PM Subject: [Fractint] Anybody home?

That would be me.

The mailing list (it seems to me) works best with plain text and no attachments. However since there seems to be interest, I'd be willing to install some wiki software that would allow more flexibility. Maybe we could discuss that here after the holidays. I could also consider allowing attachments for the mailing lists, but I'm still not sure that's a good idea - seems to me it would be better to use one of the many content management systems. I've got some experience with TWiki (TWiki.org) but others are possible. Tim

Once upon a time, many of the members posted PAR files here on a regular basis. Maybe all it takes is enough people taking an interest again to at least get a few more than Jim's FOTDs (and then he won't feel so lonely).
....but for a list of three hundred plus members that's about 1%.
Since Tim did not come forward with an accurate count, I am betting the number is a bit less than 300 now.
I also have .map files which are original.... I have compiled them from zip....and I am willing to post them also, or send to anyone who's interested, and asks.
If you have created a lot of your own original MAP files, and wish to make them available to the public, then I can put them on my site for you, along side some that already exist there: http://www.nahee.com/Fractals/FractInt/ You could even send the PAR files as a ZIP collection if you wish to share those as well. I can put them with those others. Sincerely, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html http://www.Nahee.com/Fractals/
