Rod,
Well, what I really had in mind were the social characteristics of
the medium, not the kind of media it could carry - but yes, aside
from a few lists, bbased almost exclusively on text creation (like
WRTYING-L, or _arc-hive_), most creative work proper seems to happen
elsewhere. As a matter of fact, more and more people (even those
concerned with codework) are using multimedia, which makes it
difficult to use those lists (the usual way is to link to a URL, but
that can be a bit bothersome).
On the other hand, I liked that Fluxis Qiki thing (is it active?). I
myself have started using OpenMute's tools (http://openmute.org) for
my own uses (http://emit.omweb.org). It is cool, and carries the
XOOPS CMS, which can be very handy indeed for collaborative work. Not
much in the line of server space for uploads, though.
So, yeah, long live the Fluxlist blog!
Best,
Kamen

I agree with Kamen. One of the slightly frustrating things about
this list
has always been the lack of ability to post anything media based on
it -
even simple HTML - which, some of you oldtimers remember was a big
bug up a few people's noses in the early days...and this is a list
based on
an art movement with contributions made by...you know...ARTISTS!
(mostly).
I had always thought it better to have the Fluxlist on some kind of
community board
that you could put together using the proper software - i.e. http://
tinyurl.com/e4jxy
which is responsible for boards like the Organissimo Jazz Forum
(http://tinyurl.com/omm35)
or the forum on the band "The Fall" (http://tinyurl.com/qkybz) as
well as many others.
BUT, I think that this is nice step outdoors - we talk HERE and
create THERE.
