                    ABOUT THE ALT.HEMP FAQ
    
    This section is for people who want to know more about the
    FAQ itself, and for those who want to be a part of
    maintaining and distributing this document.  First we will
    start with a Version History of the alt.hemp FAQ:

                --------------------------------
    
    Versions 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 -- These are incomplete versions
    which were used to test the waters and draw discussion.
    Please replace them with a more current version if you run
    across them anywhere.
    
    Version 0.3LaTeX -- So far, this is the only typeset version
    of the FAQ.
    
    Version 1.0 -- This is the first completed version of the
    FAQ.
    
    Version 1.0m -- This is the first completed mini-FAQ for
    alt.hemp.  It is meant for small BBS's and FIDONET where 
    file sizes must be small.
    

               -----------------------------------

    Future Versions:
    
    The text of the FAQ is now pretty much stable.  New
    questions may be added and any mistakes corrected.  Work on
    the text will concentrate on fleshing out the resource and
    sources section, providing more cites, especially pointers
    to on-line textfiles and information.
    
    Work has started on a German hemp FAQ, and true patriots of
    other countries are encouraged to translate and/or rewrite
    the FAQ and to research marijuana prohibition's history in
    their own countries.  Future versions supporting various
    forms of hypertext are in the works, as well as print-ready
    and FAX-ready formats.  There is a mailing list for
    coordination of this and other activities.  Please contact
    verdant@twain.ucs.umass.edu if you have questions,
    suggestions, comments, requests, or offers of help.  We
    are looking for people with either lots of spare time, or
    knowlege of SGML, LaTeX, HTML, MIME, as well as other
    hypertext or word-processing software.
