I can't say enough good stuff about the Wallace listserv. A bunch of over-educated, incredibly well-read and intimidatingly erudite people, turn out to be the nicest, most generous people I've met on any list.
Here's some examples of generosity since DFW died:
George sent out cd's of recordings that he and his friends had acted out, of unpublished interviews from Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.
Ryan created a database that compiled essays by and about DFW.
People who had met him or were his students told very personal anecdotes.
One person started a thread of all the news coverage and tributes so we wouldn't have to search them out.
Jason Kottke (kottke.org) designed a T-shirt as a tribute to both Infinite Jest and DFW.
Nick of The Howling Fantods bought more server space for storage and extra traffic.
And several people have offered to moderate a re-read of Infinite Jest.
That's just in the past two weeks.
