[Most recent change: 25 Jul 1991 by spaf@cs.purdue.edu (Gene Spafford)]
|
|
|
|
The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
|
|
25 Jul 1991. The groups distributed worldwide are divided
|
|
into seven broad classifications: "news", "soc", "talk", "misc",
|
|
"sci", "comp" and "rec". Each of these classifications is organized
|
|
into groups and subgroups according to topic.
|
|
|
|
"comp" Topics of interest to both computer professionals and
|
|
hobbyists, including topics in computer science, software
|
|
source, and information on hardware and software systems.
|
|
|
|
"sci" Discussions marked by special and usually practical knowledge,
|
|
relating to research in or application of the established
|
|
sciences.
|
|
|
|
"misc" Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the
|
|
other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple
|
|
categories.
|
|
|
|
"soc" Groups primarily addressing social issues and socializing.
|
|
|
|
"talk" Groups largely debate-oriented and tending to feature long
|
|
discussions without resolution and without appreciable amounts
|
|
of generally useful information.
|
|
|
|
"news" Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves.
|
|
|
|
"rec" Groups oriented towards hobbies and recreational activities.
|
|
|
|
These "world" newsgroups are (usually) circulated around the entire
|
|
USENET -- this implies world-wide distribution. Not all groups
|
|
actually enjoy such wide distribution, however. The European Usenet
|
|
and Eunet sites take only a selected subset of the more "technical"
|
|
groups, and controversial "noise" groups are often not carried by many
|
|
sites in the US and Canada (these groups are often under the "talk"
|
|
and "soc" classifications). Many sites do not carry some or all of
|
|
the comp.binaries groups.
|
|
|
|
There are groups in other subcategories, but they are local: to
|
|
institutions, to geographic regions, etc. and they are not listed
|
|
here. Note that these distribution categories can be used to restrict
|
|
the propagation of news articles. Currently, distributions include:
|
|
world worldwide distribution (default)
|
|
att limited to AT&T
|
|
can limited to Canada
|
|
eunet limited to European sites
|
|
na limited to North America
|
|
usa limited to the United States
|
|
There may be other regional and local distribution categories available
|
|
at your site. Most US states have distribution categories named after
|
|
the two letter abbreviation for that state or category (e.g., "ga" for
|
|
Georgia, "nj" for New Jersey). Please use an appropriate distribution
|
|
category if your article is not likely to be of interest to USENET
|
|
readers worldwide. A companion article to this lists all of the
|
|
regional distributions and their newsgroups.
|
|
|
|
Some groups are moderated or are monitored mailing lists. They can
|
|
only be posted to by mailing submissions to the coordinator (provided
|
|
in a companion posting). Some selected sites provide automatic
|
|
remailing in support of 2.11 news -- posting to one of these groups
|
|
automatically mails the article for the poster. Some of the moderated
|
|
groups are gatewayed to USENET from the Internet and appear as
|
|
newsgroups to facilitate distribution and posting from the Usenet.
|
|
Other of the "world" groups are bidirectionally gatewayed with
|
|
Internet mailing lists; items submitted from the Internet side to the
|
|
digest are split up and submitted to the USENET group, while articles
|
|
submitted on the USENET side are bundled up and submitted to the
|
|
mailing list. A complete list of moderated newsgroups, submission
|
|
addresses and moderators is given in a companion posting.
|
|
|
|
The following "world" groups have been gatewayed with the listed
|
|
Internet lists. Some of them may not still be gatewayed due to
|
|
broken software and/or gateways; such groups are marked with an
|
|
asterisk ("*") in the list below. Please contact me if you should know
|
|
of their current status. Also note that the group "comp.lang.forth" is
|
|
gatewayed with the Bitnet discussion list "umforth@weizmann.bitnet", and
|
|
rec.railroad is run from "railroad@queens.bitnet".
|
|
Some of these lists are gated one-way into Usenet groups; those groups
|
|
have been marked with a ">" symbol in the list below.
|
|
|
|
If you are reading this article from a site not on the Usenet, you may
|
|
subscribe to Internet lists by writing to the request address.
|
|
You form such an address by putting "-request" before the "@" symbol,
|
|
as in "unix-emacs-request@bbn.com". This gets your message directly to
|
|
the list maintainer instead of broadcasting it to all the readers of
|
|
the list.
|
|
|
|
Also note that moderators of Usenet groups may not be in charge of the
|
|
corresponding mailing list or gateway. For example, the moderator of
|
|
comp.sources.unix does not have anything to do with the unix-sources
|
|
mailing list; matters concerning the mailing list should be addressed
|
|
to unix-sources-request@brl.mil
