Printed off the PDF - Thanks for uploading it, Daniel. - Graham Steel

You need endorsement to upload to arXiv? That's disappointing. Other places to upload pdfs - Slideshare and Scribd - Jean-Claude Bradley

Who do you need for an endorsement? Someone who already has an account? Someone who has published there? - Cameron Neylon

The rules are explained here: http://arxiv.org/help... Unfortunately, it is not completely transparent and is dependent on the subject-category, so there is no simple answer. arXiv is not an open-science utopia. It has always had some form of moderation to filter out cranks. The present system is at least a little more transparent than the previous one, which relied on arbitrary internal moderation procedures. I am an endorser, but only for quant-ph. You need to find someone who publishes in your chosen subject-category to endorse you. - Matt Leifer

I understand these new rules (wasn't aware of older versions, though) and find them reasonable in general albeit impractical for my purposes, and even interesting as a dataset in the context of developing a karma system for science. I have never posted to arxiv before (basically because none of my coworkers have), and the most appropriate category for most of my papers would be q-bio. This one, however, does not even deal with physics - it is about general aspects of knowledge structuring but since physics is included in that, I find it appropriate for soc-ph. Didn't yet try to search for people who are entitled to endorse, and the point for me is not that I need a place for storing the file online (this ff thread does it fine) but to get some familiarity with the inner workings of the arxiv system, since it is a standard example in many discussions about open repositories and related topics, and so far, I only know it as a reader. - Daniel Mietchen

just did http://www.google.de/search... which brought about http://arxiv.org/abs/0802.0745 , filed under cs-dl ( http://arxiv.org/list... ). So this may be another (and perhaps even better) category for this topic. Just wouldn't have thought of it as a label myself. - Daniel Mietchen

The paper is finally available on arxiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/1008.3977 . - Daniel Mietchen
