Hey, Eric. I just want to point out a message that needs to be removed.
In the right hand column of the r-spec page, there are blurbs that are presumably from the google group. The one at the bottom, from eDave, caught my eye because it starts out, "Pat, I share your fondness for reading." Since I'm the only Pat in the group (that I know of) I took a look to see what the conversation was about. Someone named Pat posted a link to an ebook search engine and Dave responded to it. The site listed is a porn site. So, not only do I want to suggest you remove it, but I also want to be sure you don't think it was from me! Egads!! : ) thanks From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Scoles Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 9:21 PM To: r-spec Subject: Re: "Industry" News? (And: new R-SPEC.org home page) Actually, I've had to remove all the Locus feeds from aggregation for the time being. They're displaying with the same URL. I'll get them back into the list when I figure out why they're not working, but until then the home page is only showing SFWA and BSFA.

What kinds of places do you look for news about speculative fiction, SF, fantasy, etc.? Of those, which ones do you think would provide value if they were aggregated into a single listing? To get started, I've created a listing on the R-SPEC.org home page that rolls up recent posts from several "industry" sources: Locus magazine, SFWA, and the BSFA [British Science Fiction Association]. See them, along with a minor reorganization of our home page, here: http://r-spec.org/ (Note: this is part of a stepwise progression to a new site design. Since the design itself has been going slowly, I felt it was a good idea to roll out some of the new easy-to-launch features we're planning, rather than wait for them.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R-SPEC: The Rochester Speculative Literature Association" group.
