[game_preservation] game_preservation Digest, Vol 26, Issue 20

[Julia Brasil]

Hi Chris!

Welcome to the mailing list! Your article was very interesting and I'm glad
you decided to join us! We are currently working on ideas for the 2008
Whitepaper which would work as a goal statement for the SIG and touch on the
issues regarding game history. Also, we were considering having a monthly
newsletter like some of the other SIGs, any of which would more than welcome
your assistance.

I probably forgot something, being new here myself, but I'm sure Andrew will
come about and greet your properly.

~Julia
