HOW TO SUBMIT FILES TO OLGA (THE ON-LINE GUITAR ARCHIVE)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
OLGA, the On-Line Guitar Archive, is a natural development of
the guitar.tab newsgroups. The Archive provides a library of files that
is more permanent than usenet and is easily accessible, and attempts to
prevent repetition of work already done by the community.
If you can educate others in how to play a song, type up
the chords and/or tab and/or playing tip and send it to both the
newsgroups *AND* the archive, and contribute to the community.
It's very simple:
Step 1: Before you submit, make sure of the following:
Final That you have included the song name, artist's name
Preparations and your own name (and if different, the transciber's name)
If you can, include other information such as the name
of the album from which the track comes, the name of the
author of the words and music, details of the publisher
and catalogue number, and notes on what effects are used
and on how to play the music.
Make sure that the file is 'all your own work'. If you
use copyrighted material, it won't (knowingly) be
archived.
You should also check the archive to ensure that you
are not duplicating material already there. If a chord
or tab file already exists for the song, take it down
and incorporate your material with it. Always credit
the original author and mention what each of you has
done. If the file is anonymous at the archive, you
should nonetheless state that you used material from
the archive, and if practicable, disclaim credit for
the portions used.
Step 2: The simplest method of submitting for all concerned is
Submitting simply to email it to guitar@nevada.edu Use a subject
line of the same form as you post to news, i.e.
TAB: <songname> by <artistname>
Alternatively, you can use ftp. If you don't know how,
read the FAQ file posted to the guitar.tab newsgroups by
Ryan Harding called 'The Ultimate Guide to the Tab Archives'.
Use the 'put' command during an ftp session to
ftp.nevada.edu/pub/guitar/incoming
Please follow the instructions in the file READ_BEFORE_PUTTING
N.B.: You can submit by ftp to the *nevada site only*.
There are incoming directories at some of the other OLGA
sites (for different purposes), but if you upload tab or
chords to those sites they won't be archived at *any* site.
Step 3: Files are processed and archived manually, so it can take
Checking anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 weeks to archive your file.
In practice, it never takes more than a week, so you can start
checking if your file is at OLGA 4-7 days after submission.
Note that the file filters down through the sites, and this
may also take some time
The best way to check is to read the INFO file posted to
the guitar.tab newsgroups every Monday called 'OLGA WEEKLY
INDEX'. The indexes are for the second previous week, so
if the name of your file does not appear on this list
one of the *three* Monday's after you submit it, contact
guitar@nevada.edu and inquire politely as to its whereabouts.
You can receive the WEEKLY INDEX and other OLGA notices by
email. Write to rcwoods@alf2.tcd.ie to have your name added.
Your file at OLGA:
Any file archived becomes the property of the archive in so far as
material extraneous to the musical content (the header and .sig) may
be removed or edited. The author's name and e-mail address will always
be retained if accompanying the file, along with any other information
the archivists deem relevant.
The archivists retain the right to modify or remove files as they see fit.
In cases of duplication of a song, the archivists may remove a
transcription of inferior quality.
Copyright of work remains with the author of that work. Posting to usenet
or to the archive implicitly gives permission for fair-use distribution.
Requests to have files removed or modified should be made to the
archivists by e-mail to guitar@nevada.edu.
Additions/corrections to this file welcomed.
