Contributing to irt.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you can see from the long list of additions to the site this month, there are many people behind irt.org writing articles and maintaining FAQs. If you have skills in any Internet Related Technology and wish to put some of that knowlege available on the net for others to read and learn from then we would like to hear from you. Unfortunately we can't as yet pay for contributions, but if you would like to contribute to the rapidly expanding portfolio of articles on irt.org then contact - mailto:author@irt.org. Downloading irt.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ @ http://www.irt.org/download/ To make irt.org not only cross-browser, but also cross-platform, we can now offer various download formats at our download page. Josh Sahrmann and Ed Stodghill have kindly created download formats for the Macintosh platform (both .sea and .sit format), and for the Unix platform (.tar format). We hope to be able to offer tar.gz soon. Naturally we still offer downloads in .zip and .exe format, but we think it is important to offer more than this. If we still don't offer a download format for your platform, and you would like to help us with this, please let us know, so we can make irt.org truly cross-platform - mailto:download@irt.org How to Unsubscribe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you no longer wish to receive notification of updates just send a reply message - remember I'm a human being and not an automated list server.
