Intro
-----
This is a list of mailing lists available primarily on the UUCP
network. A mailing list is different from a newsgroup because you do
not receive anything unless you specifically request it. To be added to
a mailing list, please mail a note to the contact for that list, listed
below.

Some of the lists mentioned may be available as limited-distribution
newsgroups.  Contact the administrator for exact details.

Please note the following caveats: publication of a list here does not
guarantee that you will be allowed to join as a member.  That is up to
the moderator and readers, and they have the right to restrict access
to their list as they see fit. Mailing lists use MUCH less system
overhead on a world-wide basis but do tend to increase loading on the
moderators' machines so the number of people that can be added to a list
may be limited by machine resources as well.

Steven Bjork at the Network Information Systems Center maintains a
list of mailing lists that exist primarily on the Internet.  That list
overlaps this one in a few places, but the lists are largely distinct.
A copy of that list may be obtained by anonymous ftp from the site
ftp.nisc.sri.com (192.33.33.53) in the file "netinfo/interest-groups".
To add or delete an entry to that list, mail to [e-mail].
If you cannot ftp a copy of the list, and you are a CSnet subscriber,
you can get a copy from the CSnet info-server; mail to [e-mail]
for instructions.

The list does not include any of the many hundreds of lists that are
available through various Bitnet ListServ sites.

If you have a list that you want added to this posting or are interested in
starting a list but don't know how, drop me a note at [e-mail]

                                                   Marek Lugowski)

    Purpose: The alife mailing list is for communications regarding
    artificial life, a formative interdisciplinary field involving
    computer science, the natural sciences, mathematics, medicine and
    others.  The recent book _Artificial Life_, Christopher Langton, ed.,
    Addison Wesley, 1989 introduces the scope of artificial life as a field
    of study.  Alife was chartered in February 1990 at the Second Artificial
    Life Workshop, held in Santa Fe & organized by the Center for Nonlinear
    Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Santa Fe
    Institute.  The list is intended primarily for low-volume, high-content
    scientific correspondence and as a publically accessible forum for the
    interested members of the public.  Membership as of July 1990 includes
    over 1,200 addresses on four continents.  There is an FTP-accessible
    archives/repository of past traffic, software and papers.  The list
    is maintained by the Artificial Life Research Group, Computer Science
    Department, Lindley Hall 101, Indiana University Bloomington, IN 47405.
    There are conditions on redistribution of the list in order to minimize
    any misunderstanding or exaggeration concerning this new area of study.

animal-rights
    Contact: [e-mail] (Chip Roberson)

    Purpose: An unmoderated list for the discussion of Animal Rights.
    Peter Singer's book "Animal Liberation" proposes a "New Ethics for
    our Treatment of Animals" and many activist groups, such as PETA
    (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), regard this as the
    "Bible of the Animal Rights movement".  Consumers and researches
    alike are facing new questions concerning the human animals'
    treatment of the rest of the animal kingdom.  The purpose of this
    list is to provide students, researchers, and activists, a forum
    for discussing issues like:

    Animal Rights            Animal Liberation
    Consumer Product Testing    Cruelty-free products
    Vivisection/Dissection        Medical Testing

    analysis, as well as other related issues (stochastic
    optimization, Boltzmann machines, metricity of NP-complete move
    spaces, etc).

    Membership is restricted to those doing active research in
    simulated annealing or related areas.  Current membership is
    international, and about half of the members are published
    authors.  The list itself is unmoderated.

    or general discussions about antiques are welcome.  Although

    contents exhibit "legs." The depth of insight possible using the

       EarthWatch1: Defining the Scope of Environmental Destruction
       Why Euthanasia Must Never Be Legalized

sil-info
    Contact: [e-mail] (Tom Jewell)

    Purpose: Discussion of Interactive Literature and the activities
    of the Society for Interactive Literature (SIL).  The purpose of
    the Society for Interactive Literature is to study and promote all
    forms of Interactive Literature, defined as any kind of narrative
    in which a participatory process between the author or performer
    and the reading, viewing, or attending audience determines or
    influences the plot of the story.

    Much of the current discussion on the list concerns Live-Action
    Role Playing Games, which evolved out of improvisational theatre,
    conventional role-playing games, and complex "assassin"-type
    games.  A typical game might involve thirty to eighty players
    taking the part of characters in a situation, with network of
    interconnecting motivations that provide the driving force for the
    action in the game.  Live games have a small set of rules that
    simulate activities that would be impractical or unsafe to play
    out, and to simulate abilities of the character that the player
    may not possess.  The majority of play consists of interacting
    with the other players "in character" to accomplish your
    character's goals and discover new ones.  Games have been run with
    science fiction, fantasy, historical, and literary themes, as well
    as others that are difficult to classify.

    The mailing list is not limited to discussion of live games, and
    is open to discussion of anything that might be considered
    Interactive Literature.

    Ground rules: the list is not going to be publicly available but
    requests to the list for specific skills will be passed on to the
    people that have them, and they can decide about the level of
    participation they want to have.  The only public piece that will
    be mailed around is the new skills that have been added, and the
    new requests for assistance.

    I am open to any other suggestions for how to make this work.

    information.  Includes kayak and canoeing enthusiasts.  Please note
    that this mailing list is partially bidirectionally gatewayed to
    the USENET group rec.boats.paddle.  Whitewater specific postings
    are culled and sent to the mailing list, and mailing list traffic
    is sent to the newsgroup.  This mailing list is moderated and is
    probably only useful to those who do not receive rec.boats.paddle,
    or are only interested in the whitewater traffic in that group.
