Are you a FIG? Do you know somebody who is? FIG.org is going FIG-collecting.
We are creating a comprehensive database of all FIGs everywhere and everywhen, both individuals and organizations.
Right now, this is just a manually-maintained HTML page, but when there is enough demand, we'll set up a system to automatically handle new submissions, removal requests, and queries. For now, you need to send requests to <fig-registry@fig.org>.
If you are submitting a new FIG to the registry, you should provide its name and any aliases, a primary URL, and the years in which the FIG was part of the universe (if appropriate). You also need to include a one-line description of the FIG, which should contain links to other registered FIGs (no outside links are allowed, except for the primary URL). This gives people the context they need in order to learn more about the FIG. Take a look at the existing entries to get a feeling for how this should be done.
NOTE: you are only qualified to make additions and removals to the Registry if you love them. So, your request should contain a description of your relationship to the FIG in question, and why this addition or removal is important to you. If we think that you are not acting out of love, then we will enter into discussion with you, and give you a chance to express yourself better. This helps preserve the quality of the Registry.
If you're unfamiliar with the FIG concept, then you can take a look at our short Are you a FIG? document. The FIG Vision provides a much more detailed description of the concept.
There are no other restrictions. We want to know about all FIGs:
Always be sure to use your own judgement when dealing with the entities in this registry. We make no guarantees about the FIG-ness of anything in the registry. However, if you judge that one of them doesn't belong on this list, if your favorite FIG is missing, or if you have any other comments, then tell us!
