-
- The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
- 6 Jan 1996. This list does not include the gatewayed Internet newsgroups
- (see below). The groups distributed worldwide are divided into eight
- broad classifications: "comp", "humanities", "misc", "news", "rec",
- "sci", "soc", and "talk". 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.
-
- "humanities"
- Professional and amateur topics in the arts & humanities.
-
- "misc" Groups addressing themes not easily classified under any of the
- other headings or which incorporate themes from multiple
- categories.
-
- "news" Groups concerned with the news network and software themselves.
-
- "rec" Groups oriented towards the arts, hobbies and recreational
- activities.
-
- "sci" Discussions marked by special and usually practical knowledge,
- relating to research in or application of the established
- sciences.
-
- "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.
-
- These "world" newsgroups are (usually) circulated around the entire
- USENET -- this implies world-wide distribution. Not all groups
- actually enjoy such wide distribution, however. Some sites take only
- a selected subset of the more "technical" groups, and controversial
- "noise" groups are often not carried by many sites (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)
- can limited (mostly) to Canada
- eunet limited (mostly) to European sites in EUNet
- na limited (mostly) to North America
- usa limited (mostly) 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.
-
- Please notify me of any errors or changes to the information in
- this article.
