A new group (on Yahoo, which at this time seems a bit quaint) has been added to the pantheon of places to discuss digitization and e-texts. The specific topic of this group, according to its creator Jon Noring, is “for serious, in-depth discussion and information exchange, technical and non-technical, of the digitization of \u201cpaper\u201d publications, such as books, periodicals, etc. The focus is heavily on public domain texts (the co-founders\u2019 general interest), but not limited to that.” The group’s home page is at http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/digital-text\/<\/a>
