I may have given the wrong impression:

a comprehensive archive for all of Computer Science and all of Linguistics.
it is a small archive started in '94, corresponding to just a small subject
class of computer science, devoted to a very specific sub-area involving
language. as such
note that later this month we *will* be starting a
comprehensive cs archive along the lines of what was done in math, and its
advisory board, formed from an ACM committee early this year, has repeated
many of the deliberations regarding the most effective partitioning,
and its relation to the existing ACM classification scheme. (in the end
the primary level is likely to reflect instead their conference structure.)
the aim is to evolve that much more quickly to a set of mirrored
comprehensive resources for physics, math and computer science -- presuming
the latter two eventually choose to participate at the same level as the
former... it is partly true that these are culture driven, but these cultures
evolve: the examples of Astrophysics and Condensed Matter both started
quite slowly six years ago (in comparison to High Energy Physics which
took off instantly in '91 and saturated by late '93, essentially 100%
participation) but those two each more than doubled their submission
rates from '94-'96 and have continued (though Astrophysics is now nearing
saturation as well), so these cultures are capable of adapting if it
suits their research purposes.
