Internet Arrival

Pi's transition from BBS/dial-up culture to public Internet awareness:

1992: First "Netiquette" piece by Debbie Hoyt in 1992-07 — V14 N07, paired with "Unofficial Smilie Dictionary from Internet". First explicit Internet-customs reference.

January 1993: Phil Shapiro published two foundational Internet how-to articles in 1993-01 — V15 N01: - "Internet User's Guide and Catalog" - "The Internet and 'Systers' Mailing Lists"

March 1993: "Understanding Telecommunications" (Phil Shapiro) + Ethernet/LAN coverage.

April 1993: "Thinking About Online Communications" (Phil Shapiro).

May 1993: "Beginning HackerSpeak" from the Jargon File begins as recurring Jargon File reprint series — Pi reprints Eric S. Raymond's hacker dictionary alphabetically (A's through F's by end of 1993).

July 1993: "Online Editing, Part II" (Phil Shapiro) — online editorial workflow.

This thread overlaps with the Pi Governance Crisis 1989 / Pi Mentor Program / community-outreach themes — Internet treated as both technical platform and community-building medium.
