What Is Dome-L?

Dome-L is the IPS-sanctioned, but privately-run e-mail based daily information service for the world's planetarians. It was started by IPS Fellow Alan Gould. From 1993 until March of 2001, Dome-L was moderated by IPS Fellow Tom Hocking, through the courtesy of the Morehead Planetarium, where he served for 10 years.

Subscription to Dome-L is free, and open to anyone with an active interest in the planetarium profession. As mentioned above, IPS has sanctioned Dome-L as a worthy service to the profession, but free and open discussion is encouraged and essential.

Rovy Branon, the current Dome-L Moderator, reserves the right to refuse the posting of any article submitted to the list (but will give suggestions on how to make it acceptable). The Moderator will also occasionally declare moratoria on subjects that qualify in his opinion as masochistic equine necrophilia (beating a dead horse).

Postings to Dome-L are welcome by commercial subscribers (vendors), but only as newsworthy items, and not just ad copy. If you have any questions about this, or any other issue pertaining to Dome-L, write to Rovy at rovyb@planetarium.net .
