This is an abbreviated version of Newsgroups Info Center, the full version is available at various mirror sites. The majority of this information is gotten from the posts at news.lists. This version contains: o the newsgroups title o a short desciption for the group from the "List of Active Newsgroups" parts I & II and from "Alternative_Newsgroups_Hierarchies" parts I & II o a long description for the group when avalible (This is the main area where I could use help on so start sending them in if you want to see this BIBLE get anywhere.) o the Subject line of all FAQ's known to the group from the "List of Periodic Informational Postings" Parts 1-8 o Any mailing list that is gatewayed to the group from "Mailing Lists Available in Usenet" o the estamated total number of readers, the % of newsreaders who read that group, and the monthly number of messages per month, from the "USENET_Rearship_report_for_*" Please note that this is a first draft and the format is likly to change as time goes on. As mentioned above I could really use descriptions for the groups. The descriptions don't have to be real long, orginal charters will do. So if you can either cut and paste a charter from a faq or write your own description it would be MOST appresated. For more information please see the file "info-center-faq" under the /pub/usenet-i/info directory at ftp.clark.net or check out my home page at "http://www.clark.net/pub/usenet-b/www/home.html". ### alt.0d Yet another attempt to collect stupid people up front.

A forum for the discussion of issues related to the idea that beliefs and identity are becoming increasingly unstable. Our emerging global culture is influenced by a shifting and constant movement that alters economic, spiritual, and geographic categories and hence our understanding of the world. NOMAD represents varying concepts of space and time that inform relationships between and across cultures, between gendered and culturally different individuals. It investigates what happens to an image, a story, a theory that moves from place to place. NOMAD challenges truth while recognizing that certain "essentialisms" can be made useful. NOMAD includes the effects of televisual and digital technologies on social and cultural meaning. It is about the ability to be in at least two places at once, to be in two or more moments of historical space and time, to be both in and out of one's body. It explores the homogenizing tendencies of global communications media in relation to local cultures. It concerns the influence of these technologies over even those who appear to be outside the circuits, over those who are otherwise perceived as marginal or who are willfully peripheral.

Crosspostings between this group and alt.binaries.pictures.misc are not incourged, since abp.misc is supposed to take anything that doesn't fit in other groups.

This music is characterized by strong classical and jazz influences, lengthy pieces, and attention to compositional details (perhaps noticeable mainly to trained musicians) rather than catchiness or marketability. New artists that write compositionally complex music are also discussed. There are other definitions for "progressive" music. For one group of people, it is a synonym for today's "alternative" music. alt.music.progressive does NOT address this music; see alt.music.alternative instead. For a second group of people, it means any music that progresses beyond popular music in some significant way. alt.music.progressive sometimes addresses this type of music. The most common argument concerning "progressive rock" occurs when two people use different definitions of "progressive." One or both of them start screaming, "the music you like is NOT progressive." These arguments get nowhere and should be avoided. Note that alt.music.genesis and alt.music.yes exist for discussions particular to Genesis and Yes, respectively.

A group for the discussion of music based in any of the world's classical, popular, and folk traditions. Excluded from this group would be any musical traditions that already have their own newsgroups (e.g. rec.music.classical, rec.music.indian.classical, rec.music.afro-latin, rec.music.folk (which appears to be dedicated mostly to American folk music), etc.). However, music that might be unwelcome in any of the above-named groups because it does not adhere to traditional forms closely enough (e.g. baroque-Indian-Cuban-pop fusion music) would be welcome to be discussed in alt.music.world. Of course, discussion of highly traditional music would be just as welcome as discussion of non-traditional genre-crossing music. In short: If you would find it in the "World Music" or "International" section of a record store and it doesn't have its own newsgroup, then alt.music.world would be the place to discuss it.

ACEDB Genome Database Software FAQ Readers: 11000 (0.2%) Traffic per month: 32 bionet.software.gcg Discussions about using the ACEDB software. A plave for discussions by users and developers of genome databases using the ACEDB software. This group includes discussions ranging from construction of new databases using the ACEDB software, curation of genetic and physical map information into Ace format, to questions about the use of any of the species specific databases utilizing the ACEDB software. As part of the C. elegans genome effort Jean Thierry-Mieg and Richard Durbin developed a generalized software solution for genome databases. ACEDB is the name of the software used for the organization, presentation and storage of genome information. It is also the name of the first database to use this software, the the C. elegans genome database. ACEDB includes an X-windows user interface and an object-like database engine developed specifically for storage of biological information. Many groups have begun using ACEDB to create a variety of genome databases. As of April 1993 three of these groups have released their databases to the general public and many others are well along in their development. The number of groups utilizing the ACEDB software to organize, manipulate and disseminate genome information is increasing. An informal community of ACEDB developers has formed to share knowledge and resources. This group allows the community of developers and users to continue sharing and growing. The archives of the group also provide a useful resource to both developers and users.

In general, the purpose of the mailing list/newsgroup is to provide a forum for Univel users, developers and others discuss any issue specific to Univel, on technical, marketing, and other matters. The reasonable posting of announcements of products by and supporting Univel is encouraged. It is stressed that this group is *not* intended for the general discussions regarding USL System 5 Release 4.2, upon which the current release of Univel is based. There is a specific Usenet newsgroup, comp.unix.sys5.r4, in which issues generic to Sys5R4 are to be discussed.

This newsgroup is a forum for the discussion of spreadsheet products on various computer platforms. Use of spreadsheet products, add-ons, macro/scripting languages, and connections to other products (such as databases) are appropreate topics for discussion. Commercial, shareware, and public domain products may be discussed. Readers: 25000 (0.4%) Traffic per month: 759 comp.arch Computer architecture. A reminder about posting to comp.arch (last mod */*/*) Readers: 56000 (0.7%) Traffic per month: 829 comp.arch.arithmetic Implementing arithmetic on computers/digital systems. A forum for the discussion of implementing arithmetic functions in digital computers (and other digital systems). There are many other newsgroups which share a peripheral interest with this topic, but none which deals precisely with the topic of implementing arithmetic (and logical) functions on digital systems. comp.arch.arithmetic deals with the topic of computer arithmetic at several different levels, from the circuit level (how to build a faster multiplier, for example) to the algorithmic level. Both hardware and software implementations of arithmetic are approprate. Any problem involving arithmetic or logical calculations is fair game for discussion, whether it be ALU design, digital signal processing, cryptography, minimization of logic equations, or anything else. This newsgroup is also for the discussion of various protocols and standards relating to computer arithmetic, such as IEEE Standard 754. In short, any topic relevant to computer arithmetic/logic is acceptable in this newsgroup. comp.arch.arithmetic serves all of those with an interest in computer arithmetic, from undergraduates wondering what two's complement numbers are, to seasoned researchers discussing the latest developments of the field. No one should be made to feel unwelcome, simply due to a lack of experience or knowledge of the topics covered. An FAQ is also avalible for this group. Generally, any post relating to computer arithmetic or logic is considered acceptable. Posts which are not relevant to the topic at hand, or posts which are excessively hostile, are considered unacceptable. Constructive criticism of another's ideas/work are OK, flames are not. As comp.arch. arithmetic is an UNMODERATED newsgroup, readers are expected to exercise their own good judgment when posting. It is anticipated that the vast majority of posters will be professional in their behavior, so moderation is not necessary. Readers: 12000 (0.2%) Traffic per month: 34 comp.arch.bus.vmebus Hardware and software for VMEbus Systems. The newsgroup 'comp.arch.bus.vmebus' is a forum for discussing issues related to developing VMEbus-based systems. This includes discussion of VMEbus-based hardware, such as CPU boards and I/O devices; the VMEbus specification; any alternate or secondary buses supported by the VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA) which includes FutureBus+, VSB, VXI, and VMX; open-architecture applications based on the VMEbus; and hardware-dependent software, such as device drivers and bus communication protocols. The group is also available for questions and answers, so that developers of VMEbus-based hardware and software can get feedback or help with any problems they may encounter. Discussions should not be about hardware-independent software which use the VMEbus, such as the operating system or language being used, as there are other comp.* newsgroups dedicated to those functions. comp.arch.bus.vmebus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Readers: 15000 (0.2%) Traffic per month: 80 comp.arch.embedded Embedded computer systems topics.

Readers: 8100 (0.1%) Traffic per month: 131 comp.arch.storage Storage system issues, both hardware and software. This group is to facilitate and encourage communication among people interested in computer storage systems. The scope of the discussions would include issues relevant to all types of computer storage systems, both hardware and software. The general emphasis here is on open storage systems as opposed to platform specific products or proprietary hardware from a particular vendor. Such vendor specific discussions might belong in comp.sys.xxx or comp.periphs. Many of these questions are at the research, architectural, and design levels today, but as more general storage system products enter the market, discussions may expand into "how to use" type questions. This group serves as a forum for the discussion of issues which do not easily fit into the more tightly focused discussions in various existing newsgroups. The issues are much broader than Unix (comp.unix.*, comp.os.*), as they transcend operating systems in general. Distributed computer systems of the future will offer standard network storage services; what operating system(s) they use (if any) will be irrelevant to their clients. The peripheral groups (comp.periphs, comp.periphs.scsi) are too hardware oriented for these topics. Several of these topics involve active standards groups but several storage system issues are research topics in distributed systems. In general, the standards newsgroups (comp.std.xxx) are too narrowly focused for these discussions. comp.arch.storage FAQ */* Readers: 27000 (0.4%) Traffic per month: 423 comp.archives Descriptions of public access archives.

During the International Workshop on Constraint Processing at CSAM'93 in St. Petersburg (Russia) this summer, many participants expressed a need for a common forum to discuss all aspects of constraint processing from different viewpoints and to work out the common principles, techniques, and vocabulary, as well as to contrast and compare different approaches. TOPICS OF DISCUSSIONS Discussion and announcements on all aspects of constraint processing are welcome, including (but not limited to) . * constraint-satisfaction methods and consistency techniques, . * constraint logic programming, . * concurrent constraint languages, . * constraints and knowledge representation, . * object-oriented constraint processing, . * constraint programming, . * constraint maintenance, . * constraint relaxation techniques, . * hierarchical constraint problems, . * parallel and distributed computing with constraints, . * finite as well as continous domain handling, . * constraint processing in deductive databases, constraints in SQL, . * constraint processing in compilation for supercomputers, . * constraint processing in computer graphics and user interfaces, . * relations to operations research, . * complexity results, . * theoretical foundations, . * implementation techniques, . * and, especially, real-life applications. An increasing number of researchers all over the world are now dealing with different aspects of constraint processing regarded as a general paradigm of computation. However, the constraint processing community appears to be very heterogeneous: Researchers from logic programming, knowledge representation, expert systems, theoretical computer science, operations research and other related fields are investigating the use of constraint processing methods, their theoretical foundations, as well as their applications to real-life problems. Each of these communities has its own subgroup dealing with constraint processing issues, some of them with specialized meetings and workshops. Discussion on constraint processing issues is currently split over several newsgroups and mailing lists each dealing with constraint processing from different viewpoints. Thus, it appears that a common communication media is missing for the discussion of general issues and for initiating a cross-fertilization between the different communities. This newsgroup is intended to provide an international forum for communication between researchers working on different aspects of con- straint processing in order to investigate similarities and differences between their basic viewpoints as well as to work out the common prin- ciples, vocabulary, and techniques that are used. comp.constraints FAQ */* Frequently Asked Questions [Monthly posting] Readers: 14000 (0.2%) Traffic per month: 48 comp.databases Database and data management issues and theory.

Dylan(TM) is a new object-oriented language, described in a book published by Apple Computer in April 1992. Many people have expressed interest in the language since then, and prototype implementations are now appearing. In September, Apple created four public mailing lists for discussions of Dylan; the one called info-dylan is used for discussing any and all aspects of the language. In just over a month, the volume of mail on info-dylan has reached the point where a newsgroup would be more useful than a mailing list; indeed, some subscribers have already removed their names from the list because of the high volume. Apple will maintain a gateway with the mailing list so that current subcribers to info-dylan who lack newsgroup access will still be able to participate in the discussions. comp.lang.dylan FAQ Readers: 15000 (0.2%) Traffic per month: 163 comp.lang.eiffel The object-oriented Eiffel language.

Any and all discussion about Prograph, a unique visual object-oriented dataflow programming language. What is Prograph?: Prograph is a complete programming language and environment that uses visual elements to describe objects and functions -- there is no textual syntax -- and it has its own interpreter and compiler. After over five years of availability on the Apple Macintosh, Prograph is moving cross-platform with versions for Windows and several Unices currently in testing. The most recent version of Prograph, Prograph CPX, contains a cross-platform application framework class library and high-level GUI builder. Prograph will also have the ability to generate C++ code which will be compilable under gcc linked to a set of compatibility classes on a wide variety of platforms. What about Prograph Source Code?: Prograph source code should not be loaded onto the usenet system, as it tends to be large. Instead, there is a Prograph file archive maintained at ftp.iup.edu in the info-prograph directory where files can be uploaded and downloaded via anonymous ftp. For those without ftp access, an info-prograph-sources mailing list can be established. alt.sources.mac also lists Prograph code as one of its legal posting types.

While c.o.l.setup is generally for questions, c.o.l.misc is for discussions of a general nature about Linux, such as setting up a file hierarchy standard or questions about Linus' personal life and virtual beer. Again, it should be noted that crossposting between c.o.l.misc and other Linux newsgroups is strongly discouraged. If your posting or question does not fit into ONLY ONE of the other Linux newsgroups, post it to c.o.l.misc.

(Moderated) The comp.os.ms-windows.announce group is a moderated news group for announcing anything related to Microsoft Windows or Windows NT. Articles are subject to editing or rejection. Typical postings include new uploads to ftp sites, software/hardware releases or updates, meetings, conferences, exhibits, services, or rumors (reliable sources only ;). Especially useful are NEW uploads to FTP sites, which are easy to spot here, as opposed to other windows groups which receive 100's of posts per day. So if you're first to upload a file to one of the FTP sites (cica/sunsite/etc), please feel free to send me an announcement. Posts regarding announcements about other Operating System vendors are fine as long as the primarily relate to Microsoft Windows/NT (examples: Sun's WABI, or IBM's OS/2 for Windows). For the most part, postings should generally be around 150 lines in length. There are obvious exceptions and if you think you have one, please submit the article. This group is not for Job offerings (see misc.jobs.offered) or Opinions on a posting (follow-ups to comp.os.ms-windows.misc). If you grab a piece of software mentioned on this group and find a dangerous bug, please feel free to send me a note detailing the circumstances, if it's serious, I'll post it. Marketing hype will be edited from all postings. If you market a Windows product, please post it's features, pricing and availability, please don't post the company's history/philosophy.

A forum to discuss software that can handle 'international', i.e. non-English, text. The encouraged topics will include 1) How to write, where to find, and how to use internationalized software 2) What hardware/operating systems support internationalized software, (e.g. how do I do Asian word processing on MS-DOS/MacOS/MS-Windows-NT? what hardware/operating systems are available in other countries? What is DOS/V? How do I read a font from BIOS? How does X11R6 support Asian keyboard input methods?) 3) How to work with international de jure and de facto standards for representation of text, e.g. ASCII, JIS, Shift-JIS, Big5, EUC, GB2312, KSC5601, ISO2022, ISO10646, and Unicode, and why some standards are popular in some countries & not others. 4) How to process text in various languages (e.g. how do you strip vowels from Hebrew to get the canonical spelling? How does one sort Chinese? What is a locale file?) 5) What magazines, books, and conferences deal with these issues? Please try to keep legal and marketing issues out of the group; becuase, the intent is to help people find, write, and use non-English mono and multi-lingual software.

(Moderated) This moderated newsgroup is for all program postings and anything that needs to be archived. All programs can and should be posted here. It will not matter if they are rpl source, assembly source, uuencoded binaries, asc encoded binaries, or any other format that might come up in the foreseeable future. It would be good to post large documents like the internals list here for archiving and to keep the bytes down in the discussion group. This is not a requirement, only a suggestion. Each posting should contain rkive(1) headers so that rkive(1) can be used to automatically archive each posting. Hopefully the sites that archive comp.sources.* will also archive the HP48 source. There will be at least one archive site, seq.uncwil.edu. Each posting should also contain a version number so that it will be much easier to keep track of newer versions and to purge old versions. Since most HP28 programs run on the HP48, they are welcome. The postings will be identified by HP28 in the subject line of each message.

The Reviewers are asked to provided a timely evaluation of the software by compiling and running it on their machine. If time does not permit them to complete a review, they are responsible for asking the moderator to select another reviewer. If the Moderator and Peer Reviewers judge a submission to be acceptable, the sources will be posted along with the written comments provided by the Reviewers. If a submission is not found to be acceptable, the submitter will be provided with the Reviewers' comments, and they will have the option of addressingthose comments and submitting the sources again.

Additionally, the open nature of the newsgroup helps the standardization process by allowing people not normally connected with the standards groups to provide their input. This newsgroup does not have any official standing with any standards group or other organization. This group is also for exploring applications for wireless network technology. The emerging standards must, after all, correctly anticipate these applications. Acceptable Postings: Any questions, comments, results, or suggestions which are related to any of the existing committees discussing wireless technologies. This can include, but is not limited to, current research, development or general applications of wireless networks. Moderated by: W.

A news group for the posting of job offerings by individuals, companies, or other organizations with positions to offer. Job offers may be made by any organization with a job opening, or by a professional third party recruiting firm which has been hired to fill the opening. Third party recruiters, however, should note that their being allowed to do business via Usenet is an unusual exception to the general rule which forbids using the network for commercial profit. They should therefore be especially careful to adhere to the guidelines for posting. Violations and abuses upset readers, who may call for prohibiting these commercial postings. Misc.jobs.offered is for offering jobs, not business opportunities. The posting must meet all legal requirements of the country where the work will be done.

Discussions on stories pertaining to the Mutant Universe that appear in anthology titles, such as Marvel Comics presents, should also be posted in this group. It should be noted that all of the books mentioned above are Super Hero books, but comprise their own self-contained discussions that have been a large part of rec.arts.comics since its creation.

Readers: 22000 (0.3%) Traffic per month: 4300 rec.arts.dance Any aspects of dance not covered in another newsgroup. This is an unmoderated discussion forum on practically all dance forms and issues. Most of the discussion focuses on social dance (in particular ballroom, swing, and country & western), but folk, tap, clogging, belly dancing, polka, disco, hustle, freestyle, slam, etc. are also legitimate topics. Some discussion of jazz, ballet and folk dancing exists, but most of that traffic is in the groups rec.folk-dancing and alt.arts.ballet. It includes discussions about technique, styling, dance troupes, specific dancers, camps and workshops, competitions, and equipment, as well as conditioning for dance, injuries (their treatment and rehabilitation), stretching, etc. Moreover, this group welcomes queries concerning what dance clubs or organizations are in your area (please use restricted distribution) and how to get started dancing. This is a great forum to help dancers hook up with one another, whether for workshops, competitions, instruction, or simply finding a place to dance in a city you will be visiting. This group is not for commercial use. Advertising for profit (as opposed to occasional recommendations by actual dancers) is not welcome. On the other hand, announcements of competitions, exhibitions, and special events are appropriate.

This includes the plot and character development, as well as formal aspects of the writing or film editing. + To create a meeting place for people with interest in reading of this genre, for opinions and criticism. + To exchange tips on good and bad crime fiction and films, and to discuss new publications on the field. Questions that will be discussed include: Is the plot realistic?, Are its twists and turns surprising?, Is it suspenseful?, Are the characters credible and interesting?, Is the book/film "atmospheric"?, What is the standard of the writing? + The classical question on how to commit the perfect crime will certainly be an aspect of the discussion. Examples in the relevant literature may be critically examined (To give the group a scientific touch). + To establish a place on the net were fans of the classical whodunit can have it out with the disciples of the hardboiled variation or fans of the "police procedural". Spoilers concerning the plot of mysteries should be made visible in the header of the postings. We don't want to know whodunit before the sleuth tells us or we find out by ourselves. Advertising related to to the subject should also be labeled, unrelated advertising should be sent to /dev/null rather than rec.arts.mystery.

(Moderated) A moderated newsgroup exclusively for reviews of "Star Trek" episodes, books, comics, and related items (just "episodes" in the rest of the charter, for brevity). It is open to all incarnations of Star Trek: the original series, the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and any others that pop up in the future. A "review" is defined as an original (non-followup) article that expresses and justifies an opinion about a particular episode. The moderator has the power to reject articles that aren't appropriate for the group. Articles may not be rejected on the basis of the opinions expressed, but might be rejected for either of the following reasons, among others: - The article states an opinion ("I hated the episode") without any discussion of WHY the poster thinks that, or with so little discussion ("because it had awful FX") that it's not useful to others seeking insight into the episode. - The article is very poorly written. The moderator would be expected to be generous here, but has the power to reject completely incoherent messages that don't convey any clear opinion. Followups will be directed to r.a.s.current or r.a.s.misc, or to other more appropriate groups in the r.a.s. heirarchy should any appear in the future.

For Trading card game discussions which do not fit under any of the other newsgroups in the hierarchy. Examples include existing games which do not generate much traffic (such as TSR's Spellfire), new games which do not yet have a game-specific newsgroup within the hierarchy, and any other topic which does not fit within the charter of the other newsgroups. As new trading card games are introduced, they will be discussed here first, and if the traffic levels warrant it, a proposal will be generated to create a new group specifically for any such game. It is highly recommended that postings in .misc related to a specific game have a subject line beginning with the game's name (or a suitable standard abbreviation) in uppercase letters within brackets, such as "[SPELLFIRE] Question about drawing cards". This provides easy identification of posts for particular games, allowing readers to more easily select or ignore articles for those games. Standard names/abbreviations will be decided as games come out, and are regularly published in the FAQ for this group.

(Moderated) A group for all sorts of music reviews: albums, singles, concerts. It is also explicitly open for all sorts of music; not only the sort of music which normally is covered in r.m.misc and alt.r-n-r, but also classical music, jazz, folk etc. Stewart and I are somewhat undecisive on videos. None of us are very interested in them, but it seems easier to make the arguments to include them than to exclude them. This group is not for non-reviews, or reviews of the kind "they suck" or "best thing this year" without any further motivations. Also, reviews like "I've just bought the album by Y and I'm playing it now and it seems great" are probably better off in r.m.misc or elsewhere. Apart from that, there will be no constraints on format of reviews or ranking system, but the reviewer will have the same freedom as today when he posts to r.m.*. R.m.reviews is intended to be a discussionless group. Follow-ups will therefore be directed to the group(s) as the reviewer specifies. Default will be rec.music.misc.

This group will take cross-postings, or moderated postings from the regular discussion streams to alleviate the traffic, over expensive links, in these groups by allowing the news transfer mechanism to drop articles cross posted to rec.radio.info. Postings in the entire rec.radio.* hierarchy that the moderator(s) feel as informational, however, are likely candidates for cross posting or re-posting. Also by placing the informational postings in this group, make it easier for many to find radio related information. By maintaining a high level of quality in the postings, it is hoped that these postings may end up, at least more conveniently, in various archive sites, or possibly over the Amateur Radio Packet BBS network as well. By using a self-moderator scheme, the hopes are that many of the postings will maintain timeliness, and good propagation through the computer networks.

Cognitive science is an inter-disciplinary investigation of cognition, involving cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, computer science, human-computer interaction, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, linguistics, neuroscience, cognitive anthropology and other disciplines. The 'mind's new science' has been around since the mid-50's, and has entered an institutional phase with textbooks, journals, centres of research and teaching etc. However, due to its inter-disciplinary and international character, channels of communication devoted specifically to cognitive science are still needed, and the group sci.cognitive is intended to serve this end. This group serves as an open forum for discussion of all aspects of cognitive science: empirical work, cognitive modelling, theory, methodology, foundational, historical and social issues etc. This group also facilitates the exchange of information on teaching programmes, conferences, jobs etc. The main language of the group is English, but postings in other languages are also encouraged.
