Using E-Mail to Find Projects

Listed here are some of the listservs which I have used to find on-line projects. They are full with many interesting and diverse projects. To find a project through a listserv you subscribe and then you read the messages as they come in everyday to your mail box. You will see exchanges being made to projects in progress and you will come across Calls for Collaberation. To register for a project follow the insrtuctions given in the call for collaboration.

If you would like to know more about the listserv and the projects it may run visit it's web site . The web site will usually give you a chronological listing of its most successful projects over the past year. Many projects are run annually.
