For those to who would like to contribute material

Postby VagabondPilgrim on January 4th, 2010, 9:06 pm

In order to avoid any legal issues, this site has some rather stringent requirements regarding the material that gets posted. As a result, there have been many kind offers to donate material to this site that we have been unable to accept. So, in order to avoid any confusion on the subject I thought I would post these requirements here.

    All material must be from the original government publications - not from any third-party who has repackaged them. Currently, you can find this material at ntis.gov, the public library system, or at some second-hand shops.

    Submissions that have already been digitized, will need to come with proof that the original source is genuine. Generally a picture of the manual/tapes that were used will suffice.

Yes, this prevents a lot of good material from being posted to the site in the short term. However, in the long term this policy will help guarantee this site's stability and longevity.

It's always awkward to have to turn down people who are earnest in their willingness to further the work being done here, but it's the best course to take in order to insure that there are no allegations of copyright violation (regardless of how substantial those allegations may or may not be).

However, if you have any material that you would like to see posted here, and can meet these requirements, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks,
-VP
