Hello Nicholas!

 It is not a side project in Z2. The RC's can submit UTF-8 versions of their
 segment to ZC2 and the Z2/DAILYUTF is published by ZC2 in the same way the
 Z2/DAILYLIST is published. It is available by filerequest, FTP, TIC and
 possibly TIC-less distibution.

 Making a derivative of the official Nodelist still requires cooperation
 of some *C here or there, or there will always be a lag in changes.

 I have been told that there has been a proposal to create a file echo where
 every *C would submit his/her segments and have every body generate his/her
 own full nodelist. That proposal was rejected, but who knows times may have
 changed.

 Don't think I have something against the DAILYUTF, I have produced the file
 during the abcense of ZC2 this summer. But in this role I adhere to
 the "ethics" of the official Nodelist.
