- GNU
- ---
- gnUSENET (gnUSENET is Not USENET) is a set of newsgroups that are
- gated bi-directionally with the Internet mailing lists of the GNU
- Project of the Free Software Foundation. GNU (GNU's Not Unix) will be
- a complete operating system, including application programs, with
- freely redistributable source code. Please use ONLY gnu.misc.discuss
- for discussion of topics considered contrary to GNU aims and political
- philosophy (e.g., porting of GNU code to Apple machines, usefulness of
- intellectual property laws, etc.).
-
- The GNU mailing lists and newsgroups, like the GNU project itself,
- exist to promote the freedom to share software. So please don't use
- these newsgroups (or the other GNU lists) to promote or recommend
- non-free software. (Using them to post ordering information is the
- ultimate faux pas.) If there is no free program to do a certain task,
- then somebody should write one!
-
- Current groups include:
-
- gnu.announce Status and announcements from the Project. (Moderated)
- gnu.bash.bug Bourne Again SHell bug reports and suggested fixes. (Moderated)
- gnu.chess Announcements about the GNU Chess program.
- gnu.emacs.announce Announcements about GNU Emacs. (Moderated)
- gnu.emacs.bug GNU Emacs bug reports and suggested fixes. (Moderated)
- gnu.emacs.gnews News reading under GNU Emacs using Weemba's Gnews.
- gnu.emacs.gnus News reading under GNU Emacs using GNUS (in English).
- gnu.emacs.help User queries and answers.
- gnu.emacs.sources ONLY (please!) C and Lisp source code for GNU Emacs.
- gnu.emacs.vm.bug Bug reports on the Emacs VM mail package.
- gnu.emacs.vm.info Information about the Emacs VM mail package.
- gnu.emacs.vms VMS port of GNU Emacs.
- gnu.epoch.misc The Epoch X11 extensions to Emacs.
- gnu.g++.announce Announcements about the GNU C++ Compiler. (Moderated)
- gnu.g++.bug g++ bug reports and suggested fixes. (Moderated)

- gnu.gnusenet.test GNU's Not Usenet alternative hierarchy testing.
- gnu.groff.bug Bugs in the GNU roff programs. (Moderated)
- gnu.misc.discuss Serious discussion about GNU and freed software.
- gnu.smalltalk.bug Bugs in GNU Smalltalk. (Moderated)
- gnu.utils.bug GNU utilities bugs (e.g., make, gawk. ls). (Moderated)
-
- Use gnu.emacs.help to discuss software on gnu.emacs.sources and to ask
- for sources. gnu.emacs.sources is archived by many sites and they
- want sources ONLY!
-
- The gnu.*.bug groups are pseudo-moderated (that is, the group is
- marked moderated so that postings are mailed to prep.ai.mit.edu and
- then redistributed to the both the mailing list and newsgroup from
- there). The gnu.*announce groups are all fully moderated.
-
- If one of your USENET feeds cannot provide you with a feed of the
- gnUSENET newsgroups, send mail to gnu.gnusenet.config@prep.ai.mit.edu
- to ask for a feed.
-
- Questions about GNU can be directed to gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu or:
- Free Software Foundation
- 675 Massachusetts Avenue
- Cambridge, MA 02139
- USA
- +1-617-876-3296
-
- HEPnet
- ------
- HEPnet is a collections of networks interconnecting high-energy and
- nuclear physics research sites. The HEPnet netnews hierarchy was
- created to facilitate discussions in the HEP and NP communitites. The
- hierarchy is is maintained by National HEPnet Management. All groups
- are bi-directionally gatewayed to mailing lists and automatically
- archived. Questions, requests for feeds, and group deletions/additions
- should be sent to netnews@hep.net (Internet), netnews@hepnet (BITNET),
- or hepnet::netnews (HEP-ES DECnet).
-

- and Electronics Engineers.
-

- that desires to carry them. If you would like a feed of these
- newsgroups, have the news admin for your site contact 'usenet@ieee.org'
- for a feed.
-
- Inet/DDN
- --------
- Another alternative hierarchy is the "inet/ddn" distribution. This
- consists of many newsgroups bearing names similar to traditional Usenet
- groups and corresponding to Internet discussion lists. These groups are
- circulated using the NNTP transport mechanism amongst sites on the
- Internet in an attempt to reduce the number of copies of these groups
- flowing through the mail (some sites get these groups via UUCP and
- other transport mechanisms, but the volume can be substantial and load
- may be significant without a high-speed link). Further details may be
- obtained by writing to Erik Fair <fair@apple.com>.

- Info
- ---
- The "info" hierarchy is a collection of mailing lists gatewayed into
- news at the University of Illinois. The lists are selected based on
- local interests but have proven popular at a number of sites. Groups
- are removed when they become available via more mainstream
- hierarchies. Sites are encouraged to mark *'ed groups as 'n' in their
- active file. These groups are generally concerned with getting real
- work done and readers dislike extraneous postings. Postings can still
- be made by emailing to the listed contact address.

- RELCOM
- ------
- Relcom.* is the hierarchy of Russian-language newsgroups distributed
- mostly on the territory of the former Soviet Union (non-CIS countries
- included). These groups are available in Europe and Northern America;
- due to the 8-bit encoding (KOI-8) of Cyrillic letters, minor software
- modifications may be required.
-
- Newsgroups under the hierarchy relcom.commerce contain classified
- advertisements and are relatively high-volume; the nature of the
- information distributed in those groups may contradict policy of some
- networks. However, they may be valuable for researchers and
- businessmen interested in the first-hand information on the economics
- of FSU countries.

- VMSnet
- ------
- This hierarchy is for topics of interest to VAX/VMS users (but not
- necessarily VMS-specific). These groups are a project of the VMSnet working
- group of the VAX SIG of the US Chapter of DECUS (the Digital Equipment
- Computer User's Society). They are carried by most major usenet news sites,
- and almost half of all netnews sites. To find a feed, contact the system
- managers of news sites near you, and/or post to a local or regional
- newsgroup and ask if anyone in the area is carrying the VMSnet newsgroups.
-
- If you have tried these alternatives and still can not find a site in your
- local area that carries the VMSnet groups, you can send mail to the VMSnet
- Network Coordinator, currently Terry Poot <tp@mccall.com>, who will attempt
- to assist you in finding a feed for the groups. Alternatively, you can send
- mail to the VMSnet mailing list <vmsnet@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu>, which is
- also gatewayed to the vmsnet.uucp newsgroup and ask for help.
-
- In either case, be sure to state where you are geographically, and what
- your constraints are. For instance, if you can only place local phone
- calls, be sure to say just what areas are a local call for you. Also
- describe your network connectivity (what networks you are on, your uucp
- neighbors, etc.).
-
- Here is a recent list of VMSnet newsgroups. NOTE: this is NOT the
- definitive list of VMSnet newsgroups. The current definitive list is always
- the most recent checkgroups posting in vmsnet.admin. It is posted monthly
- or whenever the set of newsgroups is changed.
