Ah, for old newsletters try:
http://www.xs4all.nl/~jvdl/sdnewsletters/
and
ftp://ftp.efn.org/pub/users/stevev/starship-design/

Yes, the site has not been updated in some time.  I have been
considering ways to rectify this.  The main issue is that all that is
actively occurring right now with LIT is the mailing list.  In addition,
the main web space is on a machine which only I have an account on, and
I can't give out other accounts.

Here's what I've been thinking about: perhaps we can get a variety of
accounts on one of the sites that offers free homepages (like geocities
or something) and each person who wants to participate in the upkeep of
a website would get one.  We would provide links between the sections
and each take care of the sections we're most interested in.  The main
"jumping off" point (with general information) and newsletter archive
(perhaps we could do one of those threaded web-viewable mailing list
archives) would be located at the SunSITE server.

Any comments from the LIT gang?
