Assorted items that have made it to my mailbox ... in no particular order:
An item I've been meaning to mention in these pages is the Lampeter Working Papers in Classics page ... it's admitted models are the Princeton/Stanford Working Papers ... hopefully more institutions/groups will jump on this bandwagon ...
If not, perhaps more academic types might make the jump to blogging with the Bloggers for Peer-Reviewed Research Reporting approach ... for an example of what might come from this, see Alun Salt's commentary on Peter Heslin's article in JRS on the Horologium Augusti ...
The Compitum website/blog(?) (in French) is covering research into the Roman world and Latin in French universities ...
