ANNOUNCEMENT: GOPHER SERVER ON INTERNET RESOURCES IN ITALIAN

Il gopher server Italia e' situato nel Dipartimento di Lingue della
University of Utah. Lo scopo e' quello di raccogliere e mettere a
disposizione degli utenti Internet tutte le risorse in italiano che
esistono in rete. Cosi' il menu' e' tutto in italiano a parte poche
eccezioni. L'inglese e' la koine' di Internet tuttavia crediamo che ci
sia ancora spazio e interesse per altre lingue e culture: noi, con questo
gopher, intendiamo servire la comunita' italiana in rete. Abbiamo
associato un accesso FTP anonymous al gopher server e invitiamo chiunque
voglia condividere qualcosa di interessante e' invitato a metterlo su
questo server. Suggerimenti per link a risorse in italiano sono benvenuti.

This Gopher server is located in the Department of Languages and
Literature of the University of Utah. Its scope is to list and make
readily available to Internet users all the existing resources in the
Italian language. The menu is entirely in Italian and so are all the texts
with only a few exceptions. English is the well established koine' of the
Internet but we believe that there is still room and interest for other
languages and cultures and we are determined to be of service to the
Italian virtual community. An Anonymous FTP server has been associate
with the gopher server, we encourage everybody to contribute to the
building of Italia. Suggestions for links to Italian resources are
welcome.
