I like that idea ... actually would be lovely for a 'reader' to randomly display, so that it is not linear (hierarchical). the problem is that we do not have direct access to the database the Syndicate archive is based on. so basically we would have to do a copy of the archives to the web space database (or a selection of some messages) to have the possibility of displaying randomly parts of the archives .. puh .. (Pampers age) .. trying for months to find the time for adjusting an editorial system for the Syndicate purposes, so that different people could add to a 'reader' database, what they would like to be there ... 
actually Anna did a selection quite a while ago, which could be put in there ... would like that different people could add things there and that it works the way not every message has to be added manually by someone with an admin access ... this is my thinking direction (basically I guess it would be easier to 'work' with the archives if we mirror it to the web space (not the Sympa space) ... perhaps like it worked at V2 .. the web archive had one e-mail address subscribed to the list, kind of ... )

some other ideas ?

there is not much critique nowadays

there could be different ways to do this. a review not necessarily has to be in the form of a theoretical text, for example, but could be ...

hm .. perhaps they are not net.art then ? ..and perhaps you are 'just' the appropriate person to do these reviews.

it would be a pity, if they would not get any non.professional reception

+ thought critique is a profession of 'intermediation' (not primarily meant for the inner.art.circle)
