Spring 2001
It's hard to believe, but the review draft of the NSF-funded
OBFS Operations Manual
is finally complete. It has taken a great amount of time, but I think the product
is good. This has been a huge project, and at least 40 members of OBFS participated.
We
discussed how to handle this publication oh so long ago in Gunnison. Here's
the plan: It will be a web-based document only. I have sent the text files to
Mark Stromberg, and he is putting them
on the OBFS website. The grant from NSF is providing funding to Mark to
accomplish and maintain this document on the website. Each chapter has our text
and then examples. You can review the text and send me corrections or suggestions
via email (my email is slohr@frontier.net).
For at least the next year, I plan to make updates to
the text every two weeks, incorporating suggestions and corrections. I guess
it will always be a draft! I'll keep a chart of the corrections as part of the
introduction. You'll see what I mean when you look at the document.
People who want to provide examples can send them to
Mark at stromber@socrates.berkeley.edu, and he will either upload them or provide
links. I have included a numbered outline for examples at the end of each chapter
so we can keep track of where there are examples and where there aren't.
