-
- The following is a list of currently active USENET newsgroups as of
- 19 June 1989. 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 intended as technical in nature and relating
- to 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 primarily 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.
-
- 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 ARPA Internet and appear as
- newsgroups to facilitate distribution and posting from the Usenet.
- Other of the "world" groups are bidirectionally gatewayed with ARPA
- Internet mailing lists; items submitted from the ARPA 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
- Arpa 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 Arpa 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.arpa
